Description
Excerpt from England and Her Colonies: The Five Best Essays on Imperial Federation
The Council of the Chamber believed that the Offer of the prize, and the publicity given thereto, might induce those qualified to draft a scheme upon which practical rather than theoretical discussion could proceed in the future.
This anticipation was realized to its fullest extent. The judges who had, at no small personal inconvenience, undertaken to adjudicate upon the competitive manu scripts, were confronted, on the expiration of the date fixed for sending in essays, with the heavy and excessive work of examining 106 papers, many of which fell little short Of the 75 pages of foolscap at which the limit was drawn. This will give some idea of the amount of labour thrown upon the judges, Mr. J. A. Froude, Sir Rawson W. Rawson, and Professor j. R. Seeley, and their report conveys evidence of the completeness of their perusal.
