ISBN: 0869201700 Originally published in 1913. Rolin visited the Rhodesias during 1911-1912. This text on the BSA Company's administration of the period was intended as a guide for students of Colonial government, notable the Belgian Congo. Rolin was most interested in the phenomenon of colonisation through the agency of a commercial organisation. He defines the areas of responsibility of the Imperial government, the Chartered Company, and the settlers. The study is in three parts: the political and legal organisation; native policy; and legislation relating mainly to the whites, in particular the laws governing land ownership and mining rights.
