Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Colonial Institute, Vol. 34: 1902-1903
Lord Rosebery was the second President of the League, and to him and Dr. G. R. Parkin is mainly due the growth of the idea of Imperial Unity during the eighties and early nineties. Imperial Federation, Lord Rosebery once said, is a cause for which any man might be content to live; it is a cause for which, if needs be, anyone might be content to die. Those words (i trust I may be pardoned for this personal allusion) profoundly influenced my life.
