Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Our East African Empire, Vol. 1: Early Efforts in Nyasaland and Uganda Uganda and East Africa have recently excited such a widespread interest, that I venture to hope my humble attempt to record the story of past endeavours, and my earnest effort to throw some light upon the questions which remain for solution regarding their future administration and capabilities, will meet with the approval of those who have shown so strong an interest in their fate. Her Majesty's Government have lately sent a Commission of Inquiry to Uganda; and I hope that the account contained in these pages of the series of events which led to the political situation which Sir Gerald Portal was sent to examine, may be read with some interest in conjunction with his report.
