Sinopsis
This book provides a comparative analysis of the ancient Roman Empire and the modern British Empire, illuminating the characteristics and challenges of each. It explores the impact of distance on empire-building, highlighting the transformative role of scientific advancements in shrinking vast spaces. The author examines the unique relationship between the United Kingdom and its self-governing Dominions, emphasizing the significance of space in shaping their distinct identities. The book delves into the historical evolution of British colonial policy, tracing the transition from imperial rule to self-governance. It also discusses the concept of "youth" in the context of the Dominions' relationship with the "parent" country, emphasizing the need for continuous adjustment and a family-like approach to maintain unity. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of empire-building, the impact of technology on global connectivity, and the enduring importance of family-like bonds in shaping the future of the British Empire.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Greater Rome and Greater Britain
Book is intended to illustrate, by comparison with the Roman Empire, some features of the British Empire as they have appeared to me. I have to thank Mr. P. E. Matheson, Fellow of New College, for some valuable suggestions and corrections.
