The reader's guide to the Encyclopaedia Britannica : A handbook containing…

ENGLISH, SCOTCH AND IRISH HISTORY [Sidenote: The British Empire] The student of English history in the Britannica may well begin with the summary view in the article BRITISH EMPIRE (Vol. 4, p. 606), equivalent to 30 pages of this Guide, by Lady Lugard, wife of the British explorer and colonial administrator, Sir Frederick Lugard, herself an authority on colonial subjects and well-known as colonial editor of the _Times_ of London. On pp. 608–610 there is a chronological list of the acquisitions of the Empire, and nothing will surprise the reader more than the comparative recentness of the movement by which two small islands have expanded into an empire covering nearly one-fourth of the earth’s land surface. Except for the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and “the nominal possession of Newfoundland by Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1583, all the territorial acquisitions of the Empire have been made in the 17th and subsequent centuries.” On each of the localities mentioned in this imposing list the reader will find a separate article in its proper alphabetical place in the Encyclopaedia Britannica dealing with geography, government and history. Here it will be possible only to call attention to articles on the more important branches of the subject. [Sidenote: Early Britain] On the early inhabitants of the islands and on British archaeology, read the elaborate article CELT (Vol. 5, p. 611; equivalent to 135 pages of this Guide), by Prof. William Ridgeway, Cambridge, author of _The Oldest Irish Epic_, and E.
