During the nineteenth century ignorance of Greater Britain and of
conditions in British -dependencies oversea was perhaps excusable, for those were the days before we possessed wireless, cheap cables, and a well-informed periodical Press devoted to Empire affairs. If the stay-at-home to-day is ignorant about the British Commonwealth he has only himself to thank. Apart from the daily Press, which gives an ever-increasing amount of space to events throughout the Empire, there are several excellent magazines devoted to Imperial problems. The Round Table, issued every quarter, stands in a class by itself ; then there are Overseas, the monthly of the Overseas League ; United Empire, the magazine of the Royal Colonial Institute, and a number of other publications published in England concerning some particular section of the Empire, such as Canada, the British Australasian, South Africa, West Africa, and so on.
