546 BRITISH COLONIAL POLICY

D. On Colonial Policy since American Revolution Huskissons Speeches, 3 vols., 1831.

View of the Art of Colonization, by E. Gibbon Wakefield, 1849 (contains the final statement of his theory, but his Letter from Sydney and England and America are also full of interest. The late Dr Garnett wrote his life in the Builders of Greater Britain Series in 1898, and there is an able monograph on his theories by a French writer, M. Siegfried).

Molesworths Speeches, already cited.

The Colonial Policy of Lord fohn Russell's Administration, 1853, by the second Lord Grey (an admirable statement of the Whig doctrinaire view).

Lord Blachfords Letters, ed. by E. Marindin, 1896, and Sir H. Taylors Autobiography, 2 vols., 1885, throw light on the public opinion of the time ; and Brights and Cobdens Speeches should also be studied.

Later phases of thought may be followed in Dr Parkins Imperial Federation, 1892 ; Dilkes Problems of Greater Britain, already cited ; Goldwin Smiths 1 Canada and the Canadian Question, 1891 ; Studies in Colonial Nationalism, by R. Jebb, 1905 ; the Hon. G. Peels The Friends of England, 1905; the Hon. T. A. Brasseys Problems of Empire, 1904; Le Canada, 1906, and La Démocratie en Nile. Zélande, 1904, and L' Union Britannique, by P. Houdeau, 1906, and numerous articles and papers.

1 Mr Goldwin Smith remains, as is well known, strongly anti-imperialist.
