Mid-Victorian Imperialists investigates how the Victorians made sense of all the information regarding the empire by examining the writings of a collection of gentlemen who were amongst the first people to join the Colonial Society in 1868-69. These men included imperial officials, leading settlers, British politicians and writers, and Beasley looks at the common trenCass series--British foreign and colonial policy.ImperialismHistory19th centuryIntellectualsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainIntellectual life19th centuryGreat BritainColoniesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.ImperialismHistoryIntellectualsHistory325.34109034Beasley Edward1964,947933MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450919703321Mid-Victorian imperialists2142660UNINA
