Excerpt from Chiefs and Cities of Central Africa, Across Lake Chad by Way of British, French, and German Territories I AM told that it is expected oi' the writer of a book of travels to set forth clearly and concisely the objects with which his or her journey was under taken and the results achieved. I must beg leave to be excused from so business-like a proceeding, and further ask my critics not to read on if they expect more than a simple unexaggerated narrative of travel through little-known regions. In the course of our journey, which lasted from August 1910 till May 1911, my companions, Mr and Mrs P. A. Talbot, and I passed through countries under French and under German administration, where the Residents of both nationalities invariably showed us the utmost consideration. Nothing could have surpassed their generous help, and as we had come without notice or introduction, I cannot express too strongly our gratitude for their spontaneous kind ness. To Herr von Raben, Commandant Maillard, and Captain Facon we are particularly beholden. We also received much kindness and assistance from many British officials.
