Synopsis
Excerpt from British Central Africa: An Attempt to Give Some Account of a Portion of the Territories Under British Influence North of the Zambezi
British Central Africa because I hoped the new sphere Of British influence might include much Of Central Africa where, at the time these deeds were done, the territories Of Foreign Powers were in a state Of flux, no hard and fast boundaries having been determined therefore by fair means Great Britain's share north Of the Zambezi might be made to connect her Protectorate on the Upper Nile with her Empire south Of the Zambezi.
