dc.description.abstract | The assembling of representatives of the self-governing
Dominions and of India for the Second Imperial Conference,
which is now taking place in London, has suggested to me
the propriety of inviting the attention of this Society to the
foundations and development of the constitutions of the
self-governing Communities of the Empire and their relations,
both fiscal and constitutional, with the Imperial
Government. I approach this inspiring subject with much
diffidence, because I am conscious that some of the questions
which present themselves require for their discussion
a familiarity with constitutional law and principles and a
knowledge of Colonial history, which I do not possess. In
spite of these difficulties in my task, and conscious of my
inability to discharge it adequately, I venture to lay before
you this evening a summary of the constitutions under which
what I may describe as our greater Colonies have made such
amazing progress in population and in material prosperity,
because it seems to me that there never was a time when
full and accurate knowledge of the principles and development
of Colonial Self-Government was so necessary as it
is today. | en |
