Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Select Documents on British Colonial Policy 1830-1860; edited by Kenneth N. Bell and W. P. Morrell; at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1928. From the Preface - This book must be read in conjunction with the three most famous documents of British colonial policy between 1830 and 1860 - the Durham Report, Buller on Responsible Government for Colonies, and Wakefield on The Art of Colonization. To make room for hitherto unpublished material, it omits the documents bearing on the constitutional development of Canada which are given in Professor W. P. Kennedy's Documents of the Canadian Constitution. Its aim is to cover the whole field of colonial policy during the period, with special emphasis on the more neglected, but not less important, aspects of the subject, and to provide a convenient form for material hitherto scattered over many blue-books and preserved in public and family archives. Acknowledgements are due to the Earl Grey, for permission to print documents from the Grey family papers at Howick; to the Canadian Archives, for the extracts from the Elgin-Grey Correspondence; and to Mr. O. D. Skelton, for permission to reprint a document from his Life and Times of Sir A. T. Galt. This book, 610 pages, is in near-fine condition. It is a sturdy, well-made book.…
