Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rise of Our East African Empire, Vol. 1: Early Efforts in Nyasaland and Uganda
I well know, of course, that the views which I have expressed may be Open to dissent. I have had, how ever, the privilege for many years of enjoying the friendship of Sir John Kirk, than whom no living man knows more of these matters, and of the Rev. H. Waller, and others who have devoted their time and attention to African affairs. I have, so far as time has permitted me, endeavoured to collate the Opinions of well-known writers, such as Gordon, Livingstone, Speke Grant, Baker, and more modern travellers, and, where possible, I have quoted my authority. Above all, I have had the great advantage of going into these questions myself on the spot, and hearing the views of others in Africa itself.
