Parliament as an Export (1966) deals with the adoption of overseas
countries and particularly the Commonwealth countries of the
British Parliamentary system. These countries examined are the
original British colonies, the Dominions, the Indian sub-continent
and the newer colonial territories.
History of Nigeria (1969) was first published in 1929 and
completely revised by its author, and gives the history of Nigeria
from before its first encounters with the British, through colonial
rule, and up to independence in 1960. It describes the peoples of
Nigeria and the British conquest and colonial administration, and
is full of detailed and valuable information relating to trade and
industry, transport, housing, land tenure, education, religion and
tribal customs. Appendices feature royal genealogies and the texts
of treaties.
History of the British West Indies (1954) examines the history of
the islands of the Caribbean from their first discovery, through
the periods of colonisation and slavery, and up to the beginnings
of their status as independent nations. The actions of other
nations are studied, as well as the British, as the various
colonial powers vied for possession of these valuable possessions.
Terrible cruelty was inflicted by colonial masters to the
indigenous inhabitants, the slaves and indentured labour, and the
worst of these are recorded in separate appendices.
