To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
British from time to time undergone remarkable fluctua- Colonial policy. Tions. There was an early period when Colonists were regarded as mere dependents, to be governed for the exclusive benefit of the Mother- country, and to be taxed without their own consent, their duty BRITISH COLONIAL POLICY. 241 being to take home manufactures, whether they wanted them or not, to send all their saleable produce into the home market, and to receive upon their shores the offscourings of the criminal populat...ion. This was the Spanish theory of Colonial obligations, and when it was rudely dispelled by the American war of Independence, the policy afterwards adopted by the British Government erred in the opposite extreme. The Colonists were allowed to enjoy the chief privileges of self-government, and were relieved of its most serious burdens ; costly arma- ments being maintained at the charge of the British exchequer for the protection of the Colonies against all dangers, real or imaginary. This state of affairs could not be permanent : it was justly stigmatized as tending to make the Colonies a useless burden on the Mother-country, and even to produce, rather than to prevent, the risk of Colonial wars.
