A HISTORY OF BRITISH COLONIAL POLICY. By H. E. Egerton, M.A. Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d.
This book deals with British Colonial policy historically from the beginnings of English colonisation down to the present day.

The volume is divided into five parts:—(1) The Period of Beginnings, 1497-1650; (2) Trade Ascendancy, 1651-1830; (3) The Granting of Responsible Government, 1831-1860; (4) Laissez Aller, 1861-1885; (5) Greater Britain.
