Professor of Colonial History in Queen s University Kingston Canada Late Lecturer on English Literature in the University of Glasgow PREFACE The essay which follows had been printed and was on the point of being published when the outbreak of war involved my venture in the general devastation from which we are only now emerging. More than four years of military service lie between me and the studies of which this book is the summary. It was written under one dispensation it is being published under another. My first impulse therefore was to ask whether the change which has rendered so much of the old world obsolete had not invalidated also the conclusions here arrived at. But reflection has simply confirmed me in the desire to complete the arrangements for publication. Self-government is the keynote of the essay and it is unlikely that self-government will cease to be the central principle of sane politics either in the British Empire or in the world outside.

They would have been impossible had the views of all the old imperialists from Wellington to Disraeli prevailed. The material on which this volume is based falls into three groups. First in importance are the state papers and general correspondence of the period contained in the Canadian Archives at Ottawa. In addition to the correspondence ordinary and confidential between the Secretaries of State for the Colonies and the Governors-General from 1839 to 1867 I read two very notable collections
