AUTHOR'S PREFACE
I recall to mind a British colonel, who said to me in Calcutta: "This is the third time that I have been sent
to India. Twenty- five years ago, as lieutenant, and then the Russians were some fifteen hundred miles
from the Indian frontier; then, six years since, as captain, and the Russians were then only five hundred
miles away. A year ago I came here as lieutenant-colonel, and the Russians are right up to the passes
leading to India."

The map of the world unfolds itself before me. All seas are ploughed by the keels of English vessels, all
coasts dotted with the coaling stations and fortresses of the British world-power. In England is vested the
dominion of the globe, and England will retain it; she cannot permit the Russian monster to drink life and
mobility from the sea.

"Without England's permission no shot can be fired on the ocean," once said William Pitt, England's
greatest statesman. For many, many years England has increased her lead, owing to dissensions among
the continental Powers. Almost all wars have, for centuries past, been waged in the interests of England,
and almost all have been incited by England. Only when Bismarck's genius presided over Germany did
the German Michael become conscious of his own strength, and wage his own wars.
