THE BRITISH EMPIRE
The aim of this new series of books is to give the public at home and
in the Colonies an absolutely trustworthy, authentic, and up-to-date
description of British interests, resources, and life throughout the
Empire, which, with its great problems of government, self-defence,
finance, trade, and the representation of the coloured races, forms
a subject of at least as great and live value as any of the subjects
studied at school and university.
