The main object of this Volume is to supply a want whicli has been felt by the writer, and, as he has reason to believe, by others, of some brief compendious information on the Constitutional History and present pohtical condition of the British Dependencies. With this view, the dates and titles of Public Documents, comprising Orders in Council, A cts of the Imperial Parliament, and Parliamentary Reports, A ccounts, and Papers, relating to each Dependency, have been separately arranged, and prefaced by a short historical summary, and a sketch of the present Constitution of each. The five great divisions of the world Europe, A sia, A frica, A merica, and Australasia have appeared the most convenient basis for the general classification of the British Dependencies, both continental and insular ;the latter being grouped v,ith that class with which their geographical position most obviously connected them. Mauritius and St. Helena have thus been regarded as A frican; the Antilles and the Palklands as American Dependencies.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book records the constitutional history and political conditions of the British Empire during the mid-19th century. It includes Public Documents, Acts of the Imperial Parliament, and Parliamentary Reports, Accts, and Papers, relating to each Dependency. The author's aim is to provide a brief analysis and historical summary of how the British Empire governed an incredible array of diverse provinces, both geographically and politically, in an era marked by on-going political evolution and societal reform. The book provides a unique record of the complexities of administering such an array of territories, an effort which inherently involved a broad cross-section of peoples, cultures, and economic disparity. It also demonstrates the diplomatic skill required to navigate relationships with independent foreign powers who had competing interests in these territories. The author also explores the nascent transition to self-governance and self-sufficiency, and the growing ideological shift within the British political establishment toward a recognition of the rights of their subjects and the growing imperative to maintain peaceful and mutually agreeable relationships with other world powers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
