July 20, 1893 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "The Partition of Africa," by J. Scott Keltie. After a few introductory chapters on the earlier history of Africa, he describes the furious rush of the last ten years, and ends with an excellent short study on the worth of what has been acquired. The most important steps in the partition of Africa were the Berlin Conference and the treaties of Great Britain with Germany, France, and Portugal. In dealing with the controversy between Great Britain and Portugal, Mr. Keltie, like other English writers, takes great pains to show on what flimsy foundations Portuguese pretensions were based.
