Problems of Empire: Papers and Addresses is a collection of essays and speeches by Thomas Allnutt Brassey, a British politician and author who served as a member of parliament and was also involved in the shipping industry. The book was originally published in 1904 and focuses on the challenges faced by the British Empire at the turn of the 20th century.The topics covered in the book include the role of the British navy in maintaining the Empire, the economic and political challenges of governing colonies, and the importance of education and infrastructure development in promoting imperial expansion. Brassey also discusses the impact of imperialism on indigenous peoples and the need for ethical and responsible governance.Throughout the book, Brassey argues that the British Empire has a duty to spread its values and civilization to other parts of the world, but also acknowledges the complexities and difficulties of doing so. He advocates for a pragmatic and realistic approach to imperialism, one that balances the interests of the Empire with the needs and aspirations of its subjects.Overall, Problems of Empire provides a fascinating insight into the mindset of British imperialists at the height of their power, and offers valuable perspectives on the challenges and controversies of imperialism that continue to resonate today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
