Short History of British Colonial Policy

Hugh Edward Egerton (1855-1927) was a British barrister and colonial historian. He was appointed private secretary to Edward Stanhope in 1885. His employer's promotion to Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1886 sparked a lifelong interest in colonial policy, which led to his becoming Professor of Colonial History at the University of Oxford in 1905.
