The Broad Stone of Empire is a book written by Charles Bruce in 1910. It is the first volume of a two-part series that explores the challenges and issues involved in administering Crown colonies. The book draws on Bruce's personal experiences as a colonial administrator in various parts of the British Empire, including West Africa and the Caribbean. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of colonial administration. Topics covered include the role of the governor, the relationship between the colonial government and the local population, the administration of justice, and the management of public finances. Throughout the book, Bruce offers a critical analysis of the colonial system, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. He argues that while colonialism has brought many benefits to the colonies, it has also created a range of problems, including social inequality, corruption, and political instability. Overall, The Broad Stone of Empire is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the challenges and complexities of colonial administration. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the British Empire and the legacy of colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
