"This book deals with British colonial policy historically, from the beginnings of
English colonisation down to the present day. The subject has been treated by
itself, and it has thus been possible within a reasonable compass to deal with a mass
of authority which must otherwise be sought in the State papers. The volume is
divided into five parts: (1) The period of beginnings, 1497–1650. (2) Trade ascend-
ency, 1651-1830. (3) The granting of responsible government, 1831-1860. (4) Laissez
aller, 1861-1885. (5) Greater Britain.

"The whole story of the growth and administration of our colonial empire is compre-
hensive and well arranged, and is set forth with marked ability."-Daily Mail.
"It is a good book distinguished by accuracy in detail, clear arrangement of facts,
and a broad grasp of principles."-Manchester Guardian.

"Able, impartial, clear . . A most valuable volume."-Athenæum.

Emancipation in disguise, or the true crisis of the colonies. To which are added considerations upon measures proposed for their temporary relief and observations upon colonial monopoly, showing the different effects of its enforcement and relaxation, exposing the advantages derived by America from Louisiana . . .
