Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Geography of the British Colonies, Vol. 3: West Africa A great part of the historical matter comprised in this book has been compiled by Mr. R. L. Antrobus of the Colonial Office, who has also revised the pages relating to St. Helena, of which island he was acting Governor in 1889-90. My warm acknowledgements are due to him, as also to Sir A. W. L. Hemming, K.C.M.G., of the Colonial Office, and Sir G. T. Carter, K.C.M.G., Governor of Lagos, who have been good enough to look through the pages relating to West Africa. I must also acknowledge the kind assistance given to me by, among many others, Sir W. Brandford Griffith, K.C.M.G., Governor of the Gold Coast; Sir F. Fleming, K.C.M.G., Governor of Sierra Leone; and Mr. R. B. Llewelyn, C.M.G., Administrator of the Gambia. Any opinions expressed in the book are mine alone.
