Spine very slightly cocked.; 17 x 24 cm.; pg. 150; List of 20 illustrations (including endpapers), map, author's note, bibliography. "...Since working, as an underling, in a West Indian Government House nearly thirty years ago, I have been persistently intrigued by the assumptions and anomalies of British Crown Colony Government. Hong Kong is one of the last surviving examples of such government at work. As the grandson, too, of a Victorian Governor of Hong Kong notorious for his passionate sympathy with what were, in those days, called 'the subject races', I have ever found the arbitrary and optimistic imposition of Western standards on oriental or African peoples a matter of provoking interest.
