James Bryce

English academic, Viscount James Bryce (1838-1922) served as British Ambassador to the United State from 1907 to 1913. Volume II of his description of the "American Commonwealth" was originally published in 1893 and updated in 1914 and describes the American party system, social institutions, public opinion and reflections on a variety of topics, from Tammany Hall, woman's suffrage, the South since the Civil War, and the "present and future of the Negro."

This volume is primarily based on two essays, ‘Roman and the British Empire’ and ‘Extension of Roman and English Laws throughout the World’. The first essay is a comparative study of the modern British Empire and the classical Roman Empire. This part is deals with the British and Roman attitudes towards race, military character, and strength, despotic systems followed by both empires, taxation, revenue, and administrative policies, attitude towards natives, and induction of the native population into civil services and the military, and influences of climate and geographic condition in the expansion of British and Roman Empire.
