Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from An Economic Geography of the British Empire The importance of the economic aspect of geo graphical science, demanding not only a record of the various features and phenomena of the earth's surface, but also an understanding of their relation to one another and more especially of their control of human life and activity, is now fully recognised, and this book attempts to work out on these lines the geography of those parts of the world occupied or controlled by the British people. For this purpose the British Empire affords a field of study almost as Wide as the world itself, for it presents physical features, climates, plants, animals and peoples of every type. The widely different modes of life and even the mental outlook of the Canadian farmer, the Australian squatter, the South African miner, the Indian ryot, the South Sea islander and the town-dweller of the mother country are Very largely the result of their geographical environment; and the causes and pos sible solutions of many Imperial problems cannot be clearly understood Without a knowledge 'of the geographical conditions underlying them.
