England and India

1918

The departure of the Romans was the signal for invasion and during the fifth century the Jutes from Jutland the Angles from Sleswick and the Saxons from Holstein settled in the south and east of the island which then came to be known as Angle-land. [...] At last about the middle of the ninth century they landed with the object of conquering the country and they seized the eastern part of the island. [...] Just as the greed of the Dutch and their envy of Dutch profits spurred on the English merchants to form an East India Company so the sight of the Spanish galleons laden with the silver of Mexico and the diamonds of Brazil whetted the appetite of Drake and Raleigh and the great sailors of Eliza beth's reign. [...] They were the natural product of the fredom-loving character of their race and in chasing and burning the ships of Spain and in maintaining the freedom of the seas they were striking blows for the good of all mankind.xl SECTION V POSSESSIONS AND COLONIES. [...] The search for the north-west passage to the East led to the voyages of; Hudson and others and to the formation of the biggest of the chartered companies after the East India namely the Hudson Bay Company formed in 1670.
