Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, Vol. 39: Part V; April, 1908 I have so far said little about the possibilities of the lake and coast regions or of the part which they seem destined to play. This is a side of our East African Empire which has not hitherto re ceived much attention. I believe local politics are now divided into a Highland and a Lowland faction, the assumption being that the interests of the two sections are more or less antagonistic but the Lowland faction is a very new one, and I understand is now gaining recruits, even from the ranks of the Highlanders who apparently are not averse to a form of insurance. The previoils neglect of the coast is the more remarkable when we remember the success of Southern Nigeria, French West Africa, and German East Africa. The movement in favour of obtaining a supply of raw material for our industries within the empire - a supply which will not be subject to the fluctuations and vicissitudes of the foreign markets - has now, however, included East Africa within its sphere, and a small beginning has been made which is full of promise. The Uganda Railway, once regarded as a white elephant, is now becoming an important asset in developing this tropical pro duce supply, and the lake and coast regions, which are extremely fertile and can grow the best quality of Egyptian cotton, besides rubber, fibres, valuable oils, and other raw materials, at once spring into a place in our Imperial economy.
