“We need hardly say that Professor Keith’s history of the Congo state is exact and scholarly.”

“It must be said, however, for Dr Keith that, although his preface is dated September, 1918, he has written about the future of Central Africa from a point of view that is already obsolete.... Dr Keith, in his strong condemnation of the abuses of King Leopold’s autocratic rule, has not failed to do full justice to that monarch’s extraordinary energy and strength of will, versatile capacity for affairs, and financial skill.”

KEITH, ERIC A. My escape from Germany. *$1.76 (2c) Century 940.47
20–2039
Mr Keith was an English business man living at Neuss, a town on the left bank of the Rhine, when the war broke out, and was promptly interned in the prison camp at Ruhleben. The book is an account of his three attempts to escape, once alone and twice with companions, of which the third was successful. This American edition of the book contains much matter which had to be omitted from the earlier English edition, printed while the war was still on. It contains a map of the route taken in the last successful attempt and the narrative is a plain statement of facts without any attempt at sensational trimmings.
“Vigorously written.”
