The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 85

Thoughts on entering the Exhibition

Thoughts on entering the Exhibition.

1.This Exhibition represents countries whose total area is sixty-six times the area of Great Britain and Ireland.
2.The countries which are represented are something more than corn fields or sugar plantations, or sheep runs, or timber forests. "The men who send us the products here exhibited have churches and governments, parliaments, universities, and schools.
3."The Colonies are great communities in an early stage, and there is no reason why the names of New Zealand or Victoria should not one day sound as impressively in the ears of men as the names of England or France, Italy or Greece."

See Thoughts after visiting the Exhibition, page 60.
