Volume seven was divided into two parts. The general editors were John Holland Rose, A.P. Newton and Ernest Alfred Benians. The work appeared during a period of transition from the British Empire to the British Commonwealth and the position of the United Kingdom with respect to its colonies was very different by the time the last volume appeared in 1959 to what it had been in 1929. This was reflected in reaction to the later volumes and the historiographical approaches taken. Eric Walker's second edition of the South Africa volume in 1963, for instance, was criticised for using an outdated approach[1] and the series is currently out of print. The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire, a one-volume work edited by P.J. Marshall, was published in 1996 but that also is out of print.
