First published in 1944, this volume covers the period of the old
Empire and of the readjustments of the second Empire which followed
the failure of the old after the revolt of the American colonies,
ending with the emergence of free trade, and is significant to the
history of the American colonies and of the British Commonwealth of
Nations. Its purpose is to present and examine significant British
colonial theories on the advantages and disadvantages resulting to
the mother country from the establishment and maintenance of
overseas colonies. This study is interested not in persons but in
ideas and divides itself into chronological periods within which
arguments and theories are discussed on the basis of topical
classifications. For what reasons, the author asks, was the
building and preservation of Empire thought profitable or
unprofitable to the British nation?
