The Cambridge History of the British Empire. Volume III
The Cambridge History of the British Empire, Vol. III (1870-1919). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1959. – 948 p.
The publication of the present volume completes the original project set out by the editors of volume i. They envisaged eight volumes, of which the first three would relate the general history of British oversea expansion and imperial policy, two volumes, iv and v, the history of British India, and the remaining three the history of Canada and Newfoundland, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. The history of the various parts of the dependent Empire would be treated in the first three volumes in connection with the general story of the Empire's growth and policy. As originally planned, the volume was to have covered the period from 1870 to 1921, It has been found more convenient to bring it to a close in 1919, but one or two chapters take the story on to the later date, while chapter n starts with Gladstone's accession to power in 1868. If the later chapters on international relations and colonial policy seem to be in fact rather a history of British foreign policy, it may be urged that in this period colonial issues were so subordinate to other questions of foreign policy that they could not be kept, even in such a work as this, in the centre of the stage.
