THE LAND OF FOOTPRINTS 



I cannot claim a fulfilment, but only an attempt. 

 The foregoing dissertation must be considered not 

 as a promise, but as an explanation. No one knows 

 better than I how limited my African experience is, 

 both in time and extent, bounded as it is by East 

 Equatorial Africa and a year. Hundreds of men 

 are better qualified than myself to write just this 

 book; but unfortunately they will not do it.
