Rome fell. The people of the United States do not speak
English to-day solely because England lies on the European

also lie in highly favorable positions. At first they dominated
America; but there was something in English character, a
tenacity of purpose and a degree of energy, which out-
stripped all rivals. In these and countless other cases his-
