The East Africa Protectorate Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The East Africa Protectorate IN the following pages I have endeavoured to give some account of the British East Africa Protectorate, that is, roughly speaking, our territories between Lake Victoria and the Indian Ocean, whose value is only now beginning to be understood. While omitting no aspect of the country which seemed likely to prove interesting, my special object has been to point out the Opportunity which it offers for European colonisation and the interesting effect which such a colony may have on the future development of Africa.

Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in East Africa In the first place, I have endeavoured to bring together and set down in a popular form some facts of anthropological and social interest relating to Central Africa, which otherwise, owing to the rapid spread of civilization, might soon be lost for ever. At the same time it occurred to me that, in View of the great changes which have taken place since the British Government took over the Uganda Protectorate, some account of life in Africa in the early days of European settlement might be welcome both to my own friends and to others interested in that Continent. As a rule, companions and colleagues who might not perhaps care to be referred to by name have not been so mentioned; but there are some whose activities are so inseparably woven into the life and history of the time that it has been impossible to follow such a rule in all cases. The reader must not, however, forget that the writer was only one of a band, and that all that he experienced and endured was shared by others, every one of whom went out prepared to face discomfort and danger, and even to lay down his life in a far country. Another object has been to give to those who may possibly settle in our East African Protectorate a timely word of guidance and even, perhaps, of warning. Again, readers Will find a certain amount of criticism of Government action and also of missionary methods. This is intended in no unfriendly Spirit my aim has been to point out how absolutely essential it is that those who desire to govern or assist primitive peoples should be sufficiently versed in the science of anthropology to be able to regard them, their cus toms, and their religion with intelligent sympathy. With the vastly increased facilities for studying the subject there is now no reason why any one should undertake work in such a country without some previous study of anthropology.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
