The essays explore various subjects, particularly focusing on British imperial governance and the dynamics of subject races within the Empire, while reflecting on historical influences and contemporary political issues of the time. The opening of the collection begins with a preface, where the author, the Earl of Cromer, expresses gratitude to the editors of several reviews for allowing the republication of these essays. He notes that the first essay, titled "The Government of Subject Races," addresses significant changes that have occurred in India since its writing. Cromer outlines a moral framework for British imperialism, emphasizing the importance of good governance and the ethical treatment of subject races, warning against the pitfalls of misgovernment and excessive nationalism that led to the decline of the Roman Empire. He sets the stage for an analytical discussion on the responsibilities and challenges of managing diverse populations under British rule, foreshadowing an exploration of both historical precedents and contemporary implications.
