Preface
By T. F. V. Buxton
Much has been written about the past history of Uganda, from the time of Stanley’s visit in 1875 and onwards. Thirty years is a short period in the history of a people; but in this case the period has been so full of kaleidoscopic changes, and has been marked by so many critical events, that its history reads like a romance. The rapidity with which these changes have taken place result in this, that the best descriptions of the country, written even a few years since, are quite inapplicable to the present time; and thus there is ample room for such an account as Mr. Charles Hattersley gives in the present book.
