Volume I of The Oxford History of the British Empire explores the origins of empire. It shows how and whyEngland, and later Britain, became involved with transoceanic navigation, trade, and settlement duringthe sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As late as 1630 involvement with regions beyond the traditional confines of Europe was still tentative; by 1690 it had become a firm commitment. The Origins of Empire explains how commercial and, eventually, territorial expansion brought about fundamental change, not only in the parts of America, Africa, and Asia that came under British influence, but also in domestic society and in Britain's relations with other European powers.The chapters, by leading historians, both illustrate the interconnections between developments in Europe and overseas and offer specialist studies on every part of the world that was substantially affected by British colonial activity. Their analysis also focuses on the ethical issues that were presented by the encounter with peoples previously unknown to Europeans, and on the ways in which the colonists struggled to justify their conduct and activities.Series blurbThe Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recentscholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study allows us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginnings, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as therulers, and the significence of the British Empire as a theme in world history.

Early efforts of the English to share in the Indian Trade --Opposed by the Portuguese--the Dutch more successJut--Formation of the First East India Company--its Proceedings and Domestic Difficulties--Rise of Rival Associations--their Union. The Portuguese had been in the enjoyment of this profitable commerce little short of a century, ere England made any decided attempt to interrupt or obtain a share in it. This is the more remarkable, that for some time previous to Vasco de Gama's expedition, an active spirit of enterprise had arisen in the country; which was excited to fresh and more hazardous undertakings by intelligence of that illustrious navigator's success. So early, indeed, as the year 1497, Cabot, with a small squadron, had explored the coast of America, from Labrador to Virginia. The merchants of Bristol soon afterwards opened a traffic with the Canary Isles, the merchants of Plymouth sent ships continually to the coasts of Guinea and Brazil; fishing vessels were despatched to the Banks of Newfoundland for cod, and to Spitzbergen for whale-oil; whilst the trade with Russia was engrossed, that with the Mediterranean actively prosecuted, and so close an intercourse established with Germany and the central parts of Europe, as to create serious 1527.] ATTEMPTS TO DISCOVER A NEW ROUTE. 325 jealousy among the traders of the Hans Towns. Yet the people who could thus penetrate into so many and such distant parts of the world, abstained, with a degree of moderation not to be accounted for, from engaging in any direct traffic with the East, though it was the branch of commerce in which, like the other nations of Europe, they were above measure anxious to obtain a share.

Excerpt from The Resources of the British Empire: Together With a View of the Probable Result of the Present Contest Between Britain and France The public, both in America and Europe, have been long since wearied by dissertations on the which led to the Revolution in France; but the causes hitherto assigned by some of the greatest statesmen in Europe, seem to be only secondary, and themselves to have been produced by one great, pri mary, universal cause, which has, so far as I know, been entirely overlooked. I do however offer my Speculations 'with the most unfeigned diflidence, see ing that they do not accord with the opinions expres sed on the same subject 'by some men of the most exalted tal cuts and the most comprehensive infor mation. Whoever wishes to learn the opinions on the causes and qfl'ects of the French Revolution entertained by that powerful band of Statesmen, who now, in 1810, lead the British Opp'osition, will do well to consult and to study the very able and masterly disquisitions contained in the following portions of the Edinburgh Review.

In the eighteenth century, Britain became a world superpower through a series of sensational military strikes. Traditionally, the Royal Navy has been seen as Britain's key weapon, but in Three Victories and a Defeat Brendan Simms argues that Britain's true strength lay with the German aristocrats who ruled it at the time. The House of Hanover superbly managed a complex series of European alliances that enabled Britain to keep the continental balance of power in check while dramatically expanding her own empire. These alliances sustained the nation through the War of the Spanish Succession, the War of the Austrian Succession, and the Seven Years' War. But in 1776, Britain lost the American continent by alienating her European allies. An extraordinary reinterpretation of British and American history, Three Victories and a Defeat is a masterwork by a rising star of the historical profession.
