Oceana, or, England and her colonies / by James Anthony Froude. New ed. (London : Longmans, Green and Co., 1886)

Froude, the historian and biographer of Carlyle visited Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific in 1884-85. He strongly argued that the British colonies should be given self-government and made into a “Commonwealth of Oceana”, where the countries would form a self-governing federation, permanently allied to Britain.
