[16-1] Richard Jebb, _Studies in Colonial Nationalism,_ London, 1905, p. 276: "Indeed, the inclusion of India involves the _reductio ad absurdum_ of the imperial-federation theory which forms the logical complement of the expansion-of-England theory." [16-2] _Whitaker's Almanack_, London, 1913, pp.479, 646: 16,897,126 square miles and 535,753,952 persons. [17-1] _An Analysis of the System of Government throughout the British Empire_, London, 1912, p. v, gives the Roman Empire population as eighty-five millions and the British Empire as four hundred and ten millions. But see Edward Gibbon, _Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_, London, 1782, vol. i. pp. 51, 52: "We are informed, that when the emperor Claudius exercised the office of censor, he took an account of six millions nine hundred and forty-five thousand Roman citizens, . . . it seems probable, that there existed, in the time of Claudius, about twice as many provincials as there were citizens, . . . and that the slaves were at least equal in number to the free inhabitants of the Roman world. The total amount of this imperfect calculation would rise to about one hundred and twenty millions of persons." [17-2] _Cf_. _post_, p. 81, note 1. [18-1] Cf. _Ency. Brit._, vol. ix. p. 588.

[19-1] As to quoted passages, the reader is cautioned to distinguish in each instance the meanings of the terms England, Britain, Great Britain, British, Britannic, etc. The usage in one quotation may differ from that in another and from that in the non-quoted passages. The terminology in the latter has been adopted to accord with the most accurate and consistent present usage. The only innovation in terms here employed is the word Pan-Angles.
