Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Colonial Policy in the 20th Century About a quarter of a century ago, greatly daring, I sought to cover the whole field of British Colonial Policy in a single volume. If I had, at the time, read as much on the subject as I have had occasion to read in subsequent years, I might have shrunk from the attempt. Still, in spite of faults both of omission and commission, of which no one is more conscious than its author, the book was found to meet a want, and up to the present day still finds readers, not least, I am glad to recognize, in the Dominions. It has, therefore, seemed desirable to deal with the more recent history, though in a somewhat more intensive manner. I am well aware of the lions that stand in the path of a writer who attempts to treat of Dominion politics without a firsthand and intimate knowledge of those great communities. But, on the other hand, not every one has the necessary time and money at his disposal to make a personal investigation; and, ignorant as we in Great Britain may be of Dominion matters, the ignorance in one Dominion about what is happening in another is, I understand, yet more striking; so that a general conspectus of imperial policy is at least as difficult for a Canadian or Australian as it is for a mere Englishman. I have sought to atone for my ignorance of Dominion conditions by calling in aid the ipsissima verba of their statesmen and politicians, as reported in the Hansards. A Dominion minister may be expected to prophesy smooth things under the genial influence of an enthusiastic reception in Great Britain; but what he says in his own Parliament, when he is facing the music of an alert and critical Opposition, cannot but throw light on the trend of national opinion. An apology is due for dealing, however briefly, with the well-worn theme of the probable character of the future relations between Great Britain and the Dominions; but the somewhat different standpoint from which the question is approached will, I trust, prevent what is said being a mere replica of what can be found in other books, some of no little ability.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of British Colonial Policy In spite of all that has been recently written on the South African question, I am not without hopes that the portion of this book relating to it may be of some slight use. The subject has been generally approached either from the point of View of the experienced observer on the spot or of the partisan of some particular policy; my aim has been to bring out from the Parliamentary Papers how largely the present is the heritage of the past. Pace Mr H. M. Stanley, it does not follow that because we are convinced that Great Britain must remain paramount in South Africa, we need therefore refuse any sympathy to Dutch grievances, which are largely due to the mistakes and hesitations of English statesmen in the past. In a volume which deals with a long period of time and many scattered events, there are doubtless mistakes and inaccuracies. For such I would pray pardon in anticipation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Colonial Policy: 1783 1915 When we speak of Britain's Colonial policy a critic might at once Object that Great Britain has never had a Colonial policy. By sheer good fortune, it might be maintained, she stumbled into possession Of fertile places in various parts Of the earth and has succeeded in retaining them. There is a certain measure Of truth in this con tention. The British Empire is undoubtedly due to the political genius, the enterprise, the inde pendent spirit and the initiative of individuals, rather than to the constant and enlightened pursuit of a definite goal by the British Govern ment. Nevertheless, as we view it, the history 'of Great Britain's Colonial policy since 1783 is the history of an evolutionary process in Which there are three marked stages. During the first period the mother country, disillusioned and disappointed, left the entire control of the Colonies nominally to the Secretary of State charged With their administration, in reality to the permanent Officials in the Colonial, Ofiice. Thus ruled from Downing Street, they came to resent the interference Of Mr. -mother Country' in their concerns, and clamoured for Responsible Government as the only permanent remedy of their political, economic and social disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses a short history of British Colonial policy. With all its faults the book represents much reading and some thought. In writing what is, to some extent, a history of opinion, it has been impossible altogether to suppress my own individual opinions. I trust, however that I have not seemed to attach importance to them. In dealing with the later periods, I remembered Sir Walter Raleigh's remark on the fate which awaits the treatment of contemporary history; but obscurity may claim its compensations, and atleast I am not conscious of having written under the bias of personal or party prejudice.
