X PREFACE 



for permission to make use of the photographs at 

 pp. 60, 90, and 158 ; to Mr. D. Carruthers for the 

 photographs at pp. yS and 162 ; and to Mr. F. A. 

 Knowles, of Uganda, for the photograph at p. i68. 



To my friend, Henry Newbolt, for his invaluable 

 suggestions, for his kindness in reading the MS. and 

 correcting proofs, and for the Dedication which he 

 has written for this book, I will not here attempt to 

 express my thanks. 



In conclusion, I may say that if any reader finds 

 one-hundredth part of the pleasure in reading that 

 I have had in writing the book, I shall be well 

 rewarded.
