Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Colonies of Great Britain: Their Government and Progress "They who to states and governors of the commonwealth direct their speech, or, wanting such access in a private condition, write that which they foresee may advance the public good, I suppose them as at the beginning of no mean nor inglorious endeavour." 1. The vast area occupied by the Colonies of Great Britain, together with their rapid growth both in wealth and population, are circumstances rendering their good government in some senses more difficult, and, in every view of its results, of the most vital importance to the strength, and also to the reputation, of this United Empire. To review, as far as the present occasion may justify, firstly, the purpose and spirit in which the affairs of these magnificent dependencies have been administered; secondly, to recapitulate the leading results of that government; and thirdly, to inquire whether by any rational contingency an equal sum of benefits could have descended on the Colonies from that course of policy which, it is alleged, ought to have superseded that which has actually obtained, are the tasks which it is intended to accomplish in these pages. Not that it is meant for one moment, or in the least measure, to interfere with such minds as are filled with a foregone conclusion. It is infinitely better to leave such individuals to the lessons which will be inevitably deduced from the ripening of events, and gathered up in a field of more extended experience.
