The Colonies of England: A Plan for the Government of Some Portion of Our Colonial Possessions is a book written by John Arthur Roebuck in 1849. The book provides a detailed plan for the governance of England's colonies, focusing on the need for decentralization and self-government. Roebuck argues that the traditional model of centralized control from London is no longer effective or appropriate for the diverse and far-flung territories that make up the British Empire. Instead, he proposes a system of federalism, with each colony having its own legislature and executive branch, while still remaining under the ultimate authority of the British Crown. Roebuck's ideas were influential in shaping the later development of the British Empire, particularly in the establishment of self-governing dominions such as Canada and Australia. The book remains an important historical document for understanding the evolution of colonial governance in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
