Excerpt from The Sea Traders England under the Heel of Conquerors - The Coming of the Romans - The Saxon Ascendancy - The Heptarchy and the Invading Danes - Deliverance from Servitude - England Free. That the little island of Britain, harried by Saxon and Dane, and ground under the heel of conquerors for centuries, should have become nearly one-quarter of the land surface of the earth, constitutes a riddle to which the historian offers no solution. The explanation is possibly to be found in the fact that the history of this great expansion has been written by landsmen. They have told us when king succeeded king, they have described innumerable battles on lands, and they have explained the growth of our system of government, but being themselves without the sea-sense, they have not supplied us with the secret of the riddle which the British Empire present when we glance at the map of the world and recall the record of earlier centuries.
