These English
“One Englishman a fool; two Englishmen a football match; three Englishmen an empire,” said an acute Spaniard who seems to have known us well. Decidedly, that is one way of seeing us; but I should like to look further. I hack England and the enduring power of England and its curious slowly-developing life and its obstinate, invincible unity, which is so little understood by foreign politicians and which I attribute entirely to its geography, or, in other words, to its climate.”—Mr. Desmond Harmsworth, in the “North American Review.”
