Description
Excerpt from The Life of an Empire, Vol. 5
During the last few years I have visited the different countries which form the British Empire. These visits have naturally aroused considerable interest, not only in the history and geography of these countries, but also in the many political and social problems which concern the Government of the Empire. It is of some of these which I wish to write, and in doing so I shall endeavour to treat the various countries as forming a whole and not several units. Instead of taking each country separately, and dealing with its special problems one by one, I shall discuss those problems which concern many parts of the Empire. For ex ample, the Native Question is not confined to any one country, though, at the present moment, its importance is most noticeable in South Africa, but in its various phases it exists in the West Indies.
