The "Key Issues" series aims to make available the contemporary
responses that met important books and debates on their first
appearance. These take the form of journal articles, book extracts,
public letters, sermons and pamphlets which provides an insight
into the historical relevance and the social and political context
in which a publication or particular topic emerged. The 1870s is a
key decade in the evolution of British thinking about the nature,
purpose and future of empire. Increasing economic competition began
to disturb the assumption about Britain's leadership in technology
and in the world economy. The growth of other countries, most
notably the United States and Germany, also put a question mark
over Britain's survival as a great power. These changes set in
motion a reappraisal of Britain's empire and its importance to the
motherland, and a debate as to whether colonialism and imperialism
were a burden rather than a benefit to Britain. The discussions on
the 1870s set the agenda for the debates of the next half-century.
This text documents the writings that were central to this debate,
and includes contributions by British thinkers, statesmen and
officials such as J.A. Froude, Robert Lowe, Edward Dicey, Frederic
Seebohm, Lord Carnarvon, Gladstone, Julius Vogel and Lord
Blachford.
