text_original: What other nation was worthy to rule the earth? Certainly not England  she was soft, vain, selfish  her lands in the hands of a few, her people neglected, her government rent by dissensions, her colonies self governing or ready for revolt. England certainly had lost her sense and her genius for empire. Not France. France had no dream of empire, no genius for empire; she was content to stay at home.
