Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of British Colonisation Mr. Greswell's volume on Colonisation is a record of achievements of which the British nation may justly be proud. We read in these pages of maritime dis coveries in every ocean, and of still more arduous inland explorations. The brilliant story of our coloni sation carries us forward from the solitary struggles of the pioneer in unknown countries to the combined efforts made by great communities to develop commerce and promote civilisation. We see the first administrators of our distant dependencies at their work, in days when communication was slow and infrequent, and when little aid could be given and little interference was to be apprehended on the part of the authorities at home. In a later stage we have before us encouraging and splendid examples of the prosperity and contentment which have followed upon the bold and ungrudging acceptance of the policy of the devolution of local affairs upon a responsible con stitutional government.

Slaves and Slavery

Book Description
This work set out to describe, in broad outline, the history of slavery and the slave trade in the British colonies up to 1838. In that year all slaves in British possession were freed. Moreover, those slaves were black, imported from Africa or born to Africans and their descendants in the Americas. The book, therefore concentrates on black slavery. It does not seek to tell the story of slavery in the USA although it is concerned with slavery in the Northern American colonies before they broke away from British control in 1776. This work does not try to explain the course of slavery in the non-English speaking world, save only where it impinges on the course of British slavery. It is then a brief account of the British involvement with black slavery from the early days of European colonization through to the early 19th century. Some attempt is then made to trace the legacy of black slavery, a legacy which survives in a host of ways today.
