It demonstrates the revolutionary impact that an inventive and determined governor of proconsular proclivities could have upon Crown colonies, and the sense of frustration and of wasted talent which might be experienced by such a man in self-governing colonies. 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical$2bisacsh 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical. 676 $a942.081 700 $aChapman$b J.K.$0967960 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148694003321 996 $aThe Career of Arthur Hamilton Gordon$92198307 997 $aUNINA
