"The rapid growth of the French population in the Canadian provinces and the New England States has given rise to much speculation as to the future of the race. Thoughtful men in the Dominion see in its steady increase and aggressive character elements of danger to the stability of the Confederation. The last census returns show that over one third of the population of Canada is of French origin, while in the New England States there is a large and growing French-Canadian element, wedded to its language, religion, and traditions, and controlled to an extraordinary degree by its astute and admirably organized clergy. Quebec, though a province in a British colony, is as thoroughly French as it was before the conquest"...

Loyalty, Aristocracy, and Jingoism: Three Lectures is a collection of three lectures delivered by Goldwin Smith in 1896. The lectures explore the themes of loyalty, aristocracy, and jingoism, and their impact on society and politics. In the first lecture, Smith discusses the concept of loyalty, its historical roots, and its place in modern society. He argues that loyalty is a necessary component of a healthy society, but that blind loyalty can be dangerous and lead to tyranny. In the second lecture, Smith examines the role of aristocracy in society, particularly in the context of the British aristocracy. He argues that while aristocracy can be a force for good, it can also be a hindrance to progress and social mobility. He suggests that a balance must be struck between aristocracy and democracy in order to create a just and stable society. In the final lecture, Smith discusses jingoism, which he defines as an excessive and aggressive patriotism. He argues that jingoism can be dangerous and lead to war and conflict, and that it is important for nations to avoid it. He suggests that a more moderate and rational approach to patriotism is necessary for peace and stability. Overall, Loyalty, Aristocracy, and Jingoism: Three Lectures is a thought-provoking exploration of important themes in politics and society, and offers insights that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
