The British Empire and the United States
A Review of Their Relations During the Century of Peace Following the Treaty of Ghent
By William Archibald Dunning
With an introduction by theRight Honorable Viscount Bryceand a preface byNicholas Murray Butler.
This is the psychological moment for the appearance of a book which explains the century of peace between Great Britain and the United States. When nearly every world power except the United States is at war, the history of our relations with a country, one of whose dominions borders ours for a distance of 3,000 miles, cannot help being intensely interesting and helpful to an understanding of war and peace and their underlying causes.

In this volume Mr. Powell treats of those portions of the West which have not been hackneyed by tourists and railway companies in the same vivid, entertaining, and acute manner in which he treated Africa in “The Last Frontier.” The volume is, incidentally, a narrative of the most remarkable journey ever made by automobile on this continent—a narrative upon which are strung descriptions of the climate, customs, characteristics, resources, problems, and prospects of every state and province between Texas and Alaska in such a manner as to form the only comprehensive and recent volume on the Far West. The narrative is brightened by what is probably the most striking collection of pictures of American frontier life that have ever been gathered together.
