DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Colonial Administration of Great Britain This dissertation had its origin in an inquiry which, in the year 1853, I felt it my duty to make, as to the foundation of the law I was to administer under Her Majesty's Commission. The inquiry was begun without anticipation that it would lead to more than perfecting information for the discharge of a responsible duty. If any reader shall be staggered at some of the doctrines propounded, he will not be more so than I freely confess I myself was, when I first found them to be the inevitable result of reflection, as the subject gradually developed itself. Finding the inquiry to be interesting, I committed the result to paper, and completed the MS. so long ago as the year 1854. At that time the Crimean war was in full vigor, - presently came our quarrel with China, - and immediately upon the back of it the great Indian rebellion. While these demands upon the national resources continued, it did not seem prudent to publish a dissertation of this kind; although, in a pecuniary point of view, it might have been wiser for myself to have done so, inasmuch as dissatisfaction by several of our colonies with the mode of their government was then rather lively, and public opinion a good deal directed to the subject. That state of the colonies, however, operated only as one reason the more for refraining from publication.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

But wishing to deal with systems, I have sought for results in the history of colonization; from that histoxy - from the teaching and experience of centuries, my deductions are made, and on that founda tion, my proposals rest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from American Colonial Government, 1696-1765: A Study of the British Board of Trade in Its Relation to the American Colonies, Political, Industrial, Administrative Another phase of the relations of the colonies to the home government which has never received adequate consideration, and which is dealt with at some length in the present volume, is the treatment of colonial leg islation. Who directed the royal veto? What laws were vetoed and for what reasons? Were such inter ferences with colonial legislation the result of the arbi trary action of an irresponsible monarch, or that of a conservative judicial body? What was the effect of such vetoes upon colonial legislation? Has our own judicial practice inherited anything from colonial pre cedents in such matters? These are some of the ques tions which have been considered, and upon which, it is believed, light has been thrown. As there is no treatise which discusses in adequate detail the changes in the English constitution during the eighteenth century, it has been necessary to inves tigate rather carefully the operation of the Privy Council and the work and development of its com mittees. This has led to conclusions somewhat novel, and perhaps at variance with commonly accepted ideas; but it is believed that these conclusions will stand criticism and be fully sustained by more com plete investigation. The subject is one which prop erly belongs within the field of English constitutional history; but as an understanding of the matter is acces sary to an intelligent account of the organs of colonial administration, there was.no alternative but to include a rather detailed description of the committee system and its operation.
