Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Empire and the New
Since the movement began, various courses of lec tures, on various subjects, by divers lecturers, have been arranged and delivered; and in several instances the lectures have been published. But now Messrs. Dent Sons have undertaken to publish what, it is hoped, will be a long series of books relating to Imperial problems in every aspect, and mainly consisting of Imperial Studies lectures, sometimes given by a single lecturer, sometimes by a group, the general editor of the series being Dr. Newton. It is sought to produce and to disseminate matter more substantial than is contained in a popular handbook, but less severe than the substance of a technical monograph the books are intended to be suitable, on the one hand, for general readers, who read for solid information, and on the other for students who desire a general survey of a special subject as preliminary to more detailed study.
