Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Charles Bruce (1836-1920) was a civil servant and colonial administrator who served for thirty-six years in various administrative and governing roles in Mauritius, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Guyana. These volumes, first published in 1910, contain Bruce's discussions of the major problems of colonial administration. He provides a detailed survey of the development of national and colonial policy from 1815 to 1868 and imperial policy from 1868 to 1872, illustrating the historical context of late nineteenth-century colonial administration. Bruce then discusses in detail topics of importance to colonial administrators, including Crown law, labour and health, illustrating solutions to problems from his considerable experience. These volumes were intended as a reference work for students of colonial administration, and provide a wealth of information on the organisation and administration of British colonies in the nineteenth century. Volume 2 contains his discussion of education, communications, the fiscal system and commerce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Broad Stone of Empire, Vol. 2: Problems of Crown Colony Administration, With Records of Personal Experience The Board of Education in its Special Reports on Educational Subjects has published detailed accounts of the educational systems of the Crown colonies, but I am not aware that any attempt has been made to lay down a scheme of principles generally applicable to all. If I venture to undertake so ambitious a task, I will only plead that my experience is exceptional, extending over a period of more than five and thirty years, and including the organisation of educational systems in Mauritius, Ceylon, British Guiana, and the Windward Islands, And I undertake the task the more readily because the reports published by the Board seem calculated to confirm a statement that has been made, that the "Crown colonies have been left to tumble into any system which circumstances suggested." That is far from being the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Broad Stone of Empire, Vol. 1: Problems of Crown Colony Administration, With Records of Personal Experience The exigencies of the occasion did not allow me to do more than indicate the nature of these pro blems, but in the years that have since elapsed, in my endeavour to bring home to my countrymen, and especially to the industrial classes, the importance of their interest in the Crown colonies, I have dealt with them in detail, by such methods as I have found available: by lectures and addresses to learned societies, schools of tropical medicine, working men's colleges, settlements, and literary associations, as well as by many contributions to reviews, perio dicals and the daily press. Some time ago it was suggested to me that I might co-ordinate and expand my scattered contributions to a knowledge of the subject, and place the results of my experience on permanent record. This is the origin of my present work and I am encouraged to hope that it may be found Justified by a growing appreciation of the value of our Crown colonies, and an increasing interest in the methods by which they are governed and economically de veloped. The causes of this growing interest are not far to seek. In the first place, the foundation of the Union of South Africa has finally removed the whole group of self-governing colonies or Dominions from the area of exercise of the func tions of administration by the Government of the United Kingdom. The problems of administration which I have enumerated are, as I shall endeavour in the course of my work to make clear, common to every unit of the Empire, but the Government of the United Kingdom has no more power to deal with them in the Dominions than it has in foreign countries. I yield to no one in my admiration of the splendour and strength accruing to the Empire from the loyalty of the Dominions; but we are bound in the common interests of the Empire to recognise the interpretation they frankly and proudly place on the term.

CHAPTER XII HEALTH SOME IMPERIAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH IN THE TROPICS We have traced the relations of Europe with the tropics through three stages, --a period of plunder, a period of trade, and a period of occupation. The period of occupation has revealed unexpected sources of wealth. There was a good deal of romance in the influences that inspired the adventurers of the earlier periods, but there is nothing of romance in the solid substances that have of late excited the cupidity of nations and engaged all the Great Powers in conflict for a share of the tropical regions of the earth. With the economic uses of the tropics I deal elsewhere, but in proportion as the experience of occupation has enabled us to realise them, it has compelled us also to realise the extent to which the agencies of beneficial occupation, --industry, commerce, military and naval defence, and good government--are dependent on the preservation of health against tropical diseases. All industrial enterprises depend upon an adequate and regular supply of manual labour. In the tropics the supply is controlled by three material facts. First, the most profitable lands, -- for instance, the lands most appropriate to the cultivation of sugar and cotton--are largely found in malarial areas with no efficient labour-supply. Secondly, and consequently, with the exception of India where there is a pressure of population, we have no tropical possessions of any commercial importance in which the elementary operations of industry are not carried out by imported labour. And, thirdly, experience has proved that the migration of large bodies of men from tropical areas of economic pressure, or from conditions to which they have become adapted, is always attended with the danger of spreading

Download or read book The British Empire 2 volumes written by Mark Doyle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential starting point for anyone wanting to learn about life in the largest empire in history, this two-volume work encapsulates the imperial experience from the 16th–21st centuries. From early sixteenth-century explorations to the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, the British Empire controlled outposts on every continent, spreading its people and ideas across the globe and profiting mightily in the process. The present state of our world—from its increasing interconnectedness to its vast inequalities and from the successful democracies of North America to the troubled regimes of Africa and the Middle East—can be traced, in large part, to the way in which Great Britain expanded and controlled its empire. The British Empire: A Historical Encyclopedia addresses a broader range of topics than do most other surveys of the empire, covering not only major political and military developments but also topics that have only recently come to serious scholarly attention, such as women's and gender history, art and architecture, indigenous histories and perspectives, and the construction of colonial knowledge and ideologies. By going beyond the "headline" events of the British Empire, this captivating work communicates the British imperial experience in its totality.
