Problems of Crown Colony Adminisfcration, with Records of Personal Experience. With Maps and Portrait. 2 Vols. 8vo. 30s. net.

T/AIBS. — " 8ir Charles Bruce is a veteran in the work of colonial government and administration. His long, varied, and distinguished career in the service of the Crown has entitled him to speak with high authority on all matters connected with the important and responsible business to which his life has been devoted. . . . The student who reads Sir Charles Bruce's book with discrimination will derive mucli advantage and instruction from it. . . . He has invested the Crown Colonies and Places of the Empire with a dignity, an importance, and an interest which are assuredly no more than their due, but which have for various reasons been more or less obscured of late in the minds of many Imperial thinkers."

Sir Everard Im Thurn in the QUARTEBLY REVIEW.—" Sir Charles deals in masterly fashion with the problems of education, in its widest sense, wdth the transportation of labour from places where it is not needed to places which can only be developed by some such method, with mail services and other means of communication, with defence duly organized from the centre of the Empire, &c. ; and he treats all these subjects from the position of one minutely considering the development of the Crown Colonies as a really important and integral part of the Empire, The questions raised or suggested by this valuable work are so many and various that a lengthy treatise might be devoted to their examination."

STANDARD OF UM PIE E.—'' Students of Imperial atfoirs will have a warm welcome for any new book bearing the name of the author of that admirable work, 'The Broad Stone of Empire.' Sir Charles Bruce's latest work, ' The True Temper of Empire,' is thoroughly and in every sense deserving of such a welcome, and should receive careful consideration from all thoughtful British readers. In the essays of which this volume is composed the author discusses with statesmanlike breadth of vision and real penetration the working of this temper in the maintenance of a united Empire, and in his concluding chapter, of a united Kingdom. . . . The book is in every page worth reading."
