Reviews

"This study should have significance not only to students of history and economics but also to those interested in current discussions of colonial problems, especially in relation to international peace and the economic causes of war. As a means of acquiring perspectives on such questions, Mr. Knorr's thoroughgoing survey of how men have attempted to deal with these problems through three centuries of essentially modern history should be very valuable."

"The book ... is a model of erudition, scholarly interpretation and balanced judgment."

"The volume reflects credit on all concerned as a valuable addition to the literature on mercantilism and the readjustments of the Second British Empire after the loss of the American colonies."

"This volume is the most comprehensive work that has appeared on the subject of opinion, argument, and theory concerning the establishment and maintenance of British colonies."
