Round the World with the Union Jack

This little book contains a series of interesting sketches of the history of the principal British possessions,—Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, India, British Burma, the Malay Peninsula and Borneo, New Guinea, Hong-Kong, Australia and New Zealand, British North America, Central America and the West Indies, and the Cape of Good Hope, showing how each of them fell under the influence of Britain. The book is freely illustrated, and was used for school-prizes, being written with the laudable object of "inspiring the young with a patriotic sense of the greatness and responsibilities of the British Empire ; a feeling in which too many persons are lamentably deficient at the present day"  The question of missionary effort, though alluded to in the preface, does not become obtrusively prominent in the book.

The Religious Tract Society was a British evangelical Christian organization founded in 1799 and known for publishing a variety of popular religious and quasi-religious texts in the 19th century. The society engaged in charity as well as commercial enterprise, publishing books and periodicals for profit. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Tract_Society)
