Eliot, Sir Charles Norton Edgecumbe. East African protectorate. $5. Longmans.
“Up to the time of his recent resignation, the author had been commissioner for the British government in the protectorate. He describes the country, its peoples, gives its history, and discusses its prospects as a field for European colonization; he also describes the present system of administration in the protectorate, and writes about the Uganda railway, trade, slavery, missions, a trip down the Nile, animals, etc. The volume is illustrated, and contains several maps.”—N. Y. Times.
“The book gives a great deal of minute and not always interesting geographic information, but it was written by neither a geographer nor an economist, and often produces a sense of vagueness by omitting factors essential to an understanding of the country in its relation to human welfare. Other parts of the book are interesting, and the sociologist might find some useful information in the accounts of the native races.”
