Gladstone and Britain's Imperial Policy by Paul Knaplund - New Impression 1966 From the cover: New light is thrown upon Gladstone's attitude to Britain's imperial policy in this well founded appraisal of his career by Paul Knaplund. Basing his research on a considerable amount of hitherto unused material the author sets out to vindicate Gladstone's view on colonial expansion, and attributes to him an important share in moulding our present conception of autonomous government within the Commonwealth. Gladstone's career spanned a period of more than sixty years, during which he became fully convinced that local autonomy offered the only solution to Britain's imperial problems.
