Book Synopsis Colonial Connections 1815-1845 by : Zoe Laidlaw
Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book challenges standard interpretations of metropolitan strategies of rule in the early nineteenth century. By the 1830s the conviction that personal connections were the best way of exerting influence within the imperial sphere went well beyond the metropolitan government, as lobbyists, settlers and missionaries also developed personal connections to advance their causes.
