Excerpt from The Broad Stone of Empire, Vol. 1: Problems of Crown Colony Administration, With Records of Personal Experience The exigencies of the occasion did not allow me to do more than indicate the nature of these pro blems, but in the years that have since elapsed, in my endeavour to bring home to my countrymen, and especially to the industrial classes, the importance of their interest in the Crown colonies, I have dealt with them in detail, by such methods as I have found available: by lectures and addresses to learned societies, schools of tropical medicine, working men's colleges, settlements, and literary associations, as well as by many contributions to reviews, perio dicals and the daily press. Some time ago it was suggested to me that I might co-ordinate and expand my scattered contributions to a knowledge of the subject, and place the results of my experience on permanent record. This is the origin of my present work and I am encouraged to hope that it may be found Justified by a growing appreciation of the value of our Crown colonies, and an increasing interest in the methods by which they are governed and economically de veloped. The causes of this growing interest are not far to seek. In the first place, the foundation of the Union of South Africa has finally removed the whole group of self-governing colonies or Dominions from the area of exercise of the func tions of administration by the Government of the United Kingdom. The problems of administration which I have enumerated are, as I shall endeavour in the course of my work to make clear, common to every unit of the Empire, but the Government of the United Kingdom has no more power to deal with them in the Dominions than it has in foreign countries. I yield to no one in my admiration of the splendour and strength accruing to the Empire from the loyalty of the Dominions; but we are bound in the common interests of the Empire to recognise the interpretation they frankly and proudly place on the term.

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.

Sir Charles Bruce (1836-1920) was a civil servant and colonial administrator who served for thirty-six years in various administrative and governing roles in Mauritius, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Guyana. These volumes, first published in 1910, contain Bruce's discussions of the major problems of colonial administration. He provides a detailed survey of the development of national and colonial policy from 1815 to 1868 and imperial policy from 1868 to 1872, illustrating the historical context of late nineteenth-century colonial administration. Bruce then discusses in detail topics of importance to colonial administrators, including Crown law, labour and health, illustrating solutions to problems from his considerable experience. These volumes were intended as a reference work for students of colonial administration, and provide a wealth of information on the organisation and administration of British colonies in the nineteenth century. Volume 2 contains his discussion of education, communications, the fiscal system and commerce.
