Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, Vol. 36: Part VIII.; July, 1905

IN one sense it is my misfortune that when I selected the subject of my address I did not know that Sir Charles Bruce, in his most interesting and instructive paper on The Crown Colonies and Places, would cover so much of the ground which the title of my own paper marks out as the field of my inquiry.

But in another sense nothing could be more fortunate for me than that a speaker so able and well-informed should have preceded me at such a short interval, for I am enabled from this circum stance to enter at once upon a consideration of my topic, knowing that your interest has already been aroused by one more capable than myself, and feeling free to elaborate my thesis along certain definite lines because the broad and statesmanlike treatment of the subject by Sir Charles Bruce has already provided you with the historical context.
