The Origin and Growth of the English Colonies and of Their System of Government: An Introduction to Mr. C. P. Lucas''s Historical Geography of the British Colonies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the English Colonies and of Their System of Government: An Introduction to Mr. C. P. Lucas's Historical Geography of the British Colonies

A short list of authorities is given at the end of each chapter: such list being, for present purposes, as short as possible. The most elaborate and exhaustive bibliography on colonies and coloniaation is, so far as I know, contained in a Report on Colonial Administration 1800 - 1 goo,' pre pared in 1901 by Mr. O. P. Austen, Chief of Bureau of Statistics, Washington, for the Congress of the United States; but a very full list of books will be found in Mr. Ireland's Tropical Colonization. In Spite of the many volumes which have been written on colonial questions, the standard works of Seeley, Sir C. Dilke, and M. Paul leroy-beaulieu will not easily be superseded. The Preface to the Introduction in r 88 7 referred to the invaluable articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica, on economic questions the articles in Mr. R. I. Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy will be found no.
