He should be acquainted, secondly, with the history of the same problem in Canada — where the juxtaposition of a conquered Celtic Roman Catholic population in the valley of the St. Lawrence and an immigrant Anglo-Saxon Protestant population in its hinterland created a situation so closely analogous at the outset to that of Ireland, but so fortunately and so instructively different in its development — and in South Africa, where the national schism, opened so needlessly by the Great Trek (one of... the unwritten epics of nationality, by the way), was only closed again when the second and third generation had endured its heritage of strife and waste and death. Thirdly, he should have carefully studied the growth of what may be called Dominion nationality — how the four groups of con- tiguous colonies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, divided at first either by nationality like England and Scotland, or by a jealous ' particularism' like the thirteen American States, gradually yielded to the forces, economic and political, which made for unity ; how sooner, as in the case of New Zealand, or later, as in that of South Africa, the barriers were broken down and each group was welded together in a single con- stitutional frame, more loosely or more tightly as the case might be ; how this political unification stimulated and quickened the process which, despite differences and disputes, had been silently going on all the time — the development of an inward unity, of which political 12 THE STUDY OF THE unity was but the outward expression ; a sense of common devotion to the land they had made their home; a consciousness of the common customs and common interests which they shared as dwellers in one country, of something which made all who lived in Canada Canadians, whether they were of French or British blood, and all who lived in South Africa South Africans, whether they spoke Dutch or English ; and, finally, as time went on, the gathering of common memories and the growth of a common purpose, culmi- nating in the knowledge which all alike brought back with them from the common ordeal of war that, to quote from Kenan's famous definition of a nation, they had done great things together and desired to do more of them.
