Excerpt from Affairs of West Africa Whatever its defects - and, no doubt, they are many and various - the Author claims for this volume that it is, at least, an honest attempt to deal with the problems, racial, political and commercial, yearly increasing in magnitude, connected with the administration of Western Africa by Great Britain and by the other Powers of Western Europe which participated in the scramble for African territory. As such it is respectfully submitted to the thinking Public. The Author considers it advisable to state that he has no commercial interests in West Africa, and is, therefore, uninfluenced by considerations of a personal nature, in emphasising the importance of the part played by the merchant on the West African stage. He also deems it right to say that the West African Section of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce is neither responsible nor answerable for the opinions expressed herein.

Excerpt from West African Studies Now of course I regard myself as one of the second class of these observers: did I not do so I would not dare speak about West Africa at all, especially in such company but whatever I am or whatever I do, requires explanation, apology, and thanks.

Excerpt from South-West Africa OF making many books there is no end, said the Preacher, but strange to say, there is not a single book in the English lan guage that deals with south-westgafrica of modern days. Many references to the country are found in the older books of South African travel and exploration, and some good works have been written in later times by German authors; but.

Excerpt from Corisco Days: The First Thirty Years of the West Africa Mission I have not tried to make this a history of the West Africa Mission down 'to present date. Purposely, I have confined these sketches to the extreme limits of the fifty years from 1842, the beginning of the old Gaboon Mission, to about 1892. I preferred to include the records of only the thirty years from 18219, the beginning of the old Corisco Mis sion, to about 1879, when Corisco ceased to be under white control, the management of its ecclesiastical and educational affairs being placed in efficient native hands. More especially, I have confined myself to the days of the ten years, 1861 to 1871, during which I was personally located at Corisco and Benita.
