English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century

Jean Paul, the German poet, said that God had given to France the empire of the land, to England the empire of the sea, and to his own country the empire of the air. The world has changed since Jean Paul's days. The wings of France have been clipped; the German Empire has become a solid thing; but England still holds her watery dominion; Britannia does still rule the waves, and in this proud position she has spread the English race over the globe; she has created the great American nation; she is peopling new Englands at the Antipodes; she has made her Queen Empress. | English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century by 1 English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century by James Anthony Froude This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
