Books in the Documents in Imperial History series

This first volume of a projected four-volume set details the impressive record of eight hundred years of English (later British) imperial rule. The documents also illustrate the relationship between constitutional developments and ideas in Britain, in individual colonies, and in the empire as a whole.

The fifth in a series which provides key documents for the constitutional history of the British Empire and Commonwealth dealing with the evolution of representative and responsible government in the four main settler colonies.

The eighth volume in Frederick Madden's monumental documentary history of the British Empire, this volume deals with some of the dependencies-the West Indies, British Honduras, Hong Kong, Fiji, Cyprus, Gibraltar and the Falklands-since 1948.

The sixth volume in Greenwood's ongoing series, this book is the first of three fine volumes to cover the twentieth century and the last stages in decolonization of the British Empire.

This volume covers the first part of the 20th-century processes of decolonisation within the British Empire, concluding with the independence of Ceylon, the first of the non-European-settled colonies. An introductory section demonstrates changes in attitude to colonial rule.

This collection of documents presents an enlightening picture of the colonial government of the British Commonwealth during the Second British Empire. Using numerous original documents, with preference given to those not previously published or readily available, the editors have delineated the major themes of the period from 1763 to 1840.

In this fourth volume Madden and Fieldhouse focus on those colonies in North America, Australasia, and South Africa where British subjects had settled in considerable numbers, and where the restrictions of the old system had been outgrown and representative and responsible government was developing toward full self-government.
