Excerpt from The Lord of Labour North Countrie and its favourite playground the little Island of Man. But this is not going to be a Manx story, for the very sufficient reason that Mona could not furnish anything like an adequate stage for the drama which is to be played out in the Chapters which follow.

It is about the last place on earth that the student Of science or Of naval and military history would select as the possible source of a power which was to convulse the world, Shatter an apparently all-conquer ing despotism at the stroke of the eleventh hour, and restore peace and prosperity to the stricken nations.
