Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Europe in Africa, the Nineteenth Century Do my readers know what is meant by a "short yarn"? It is the nautical phrase for a story that has been broken off short, - a narrative that has never reached its legitimate conclusion. This book is a volume of "short yarns." They will probably be found to have their ends somewhere in the coming century. Meantime it seems well to know something of the beginnings of what in years to come may interest the world exceedingly. "Europe in Africa in the Nineteenth Century" has been a vast subject to be crowded into the limits which I have allowed myself in this series. If I am told by my critics that my book is deficient in historical perspective, I can only reply: "You are right; but my aim has been to tell only what interested myself, and what I hoped might be interesting to other people. I therefore have put many persons, events, and other matters into the foreground, which, if I aimed to be an historian, I ought to have relegated to a less prominent position." Almost every chapter of the book forms a narrative by itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
