Oceana, Or England and Her Colonies

This book contains James Anthony Froude’s 1886 historical sketch, “Oceana, or England and Her Colonies”. It is a fascinating and insightful chronicle of the author’s travels from Cape Town to Australia and New Zealand, from 1884 to 1888. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history of the British Empire, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: “The Dream of Sir James Harrington”, “The Expansion of the English Race”, “The American Colonies”, “Second Group of Colonies”, “Colonial Management”, “Policy of Separation”, “The England of Political Economists”, “Population and National Greatness”, “Popular Desire for Union”, etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.
