Twentieth Century Impressions was a series of travel, political and social reference books published by Lloyds Greater Britain Publishing Company in London between 1901 and 1914. The full titles were typically styled as Twentieth Century Impressions of [country name] : Its history, people, commerce, industries and resources.
Arnold Wright (1858–1941) was editor in chief or author of most of the range of titles. In most cases the books were over 600 pages in length (some over 800). Wright was an enthusiast for colonialism,[1] in the decade before the First World War. In most of the earlier volumes, H. A. Cartwright and O. Breakspear were assistants. In the volumes closer to 1914, Wright was designated as the Historian for a volume. Reginald Lloyd was also designated as Director in Chief of the later publications.
