Description
"This ground-breaking book challenges standard interpretations of metropolitan strategies of rule in the early nineteenth century. This book challenges traditional notions of a bureaucratic revolution in government in the mid-1830s, identifying a more profound and gradual transition from a metropolitan reliance on gossip and personal information to the embrace of new statistical forms of knowledge. The analysis moves between London, New South Wales and the Cape Colony, encompassing both government insiders and those who struggled against colonial and imperial governments. As such, this book will offer an important new interpretation of the workings of British rule in the colonies."--Jacket.
