Excerpt from Africa of to-Day F this book were to be restricted to a description of any one part of Africa, or if it were intended to discuss the con ditions existing in just one particular section, no matter how extensive, and to treat of manners and customs therein, with an account of the native population, or if it were intended to discuss serially the various parts of the great continent in a manner even approximating to careful history, an apology to the intelligent reading public for venturing to prefer a claim to its attention would be in order here, because there are already so many books at the reader's service to give him all that character of information. But it seems to be entirely proper to offer to the public a sort of general handbook which shall deal with some of the problems of to-day in a popular manner that may be entertaining and which, it is believed, will be instructive. Not unnaturally, however, such a vol ume should be, it seems, divided into parts which are given to the topics bearing upon one particular section of Africa, Since there are distinct differences between the questions to be answered by the authorities entrusted with the responsi bility of exploiting a particular section and Similar prob lems that face officials in another, perhaps distant, part of the continent.
