My object in writing this book has been to give an account ofF innish sufficient to enable any one to understand the grammatical structure of the written language, and also to place before the student of philology an account of the chief phenomena it presents. In this latter respect I am conscious that my treatment is very inadequate on account of my inability to make myself acquainted with the many dialects spoken by the peasantry in various parts, the importance of which for the scientific hiatory of the language cannot be overrated. I trust, however, that I may meet with indulgence, as the present work is, to the best of my belief, the only grammar ofF innish in English, and the only syntax (except brief sketches) in any language more generally accessible thanS wedish. The Finnish language is still in so unsettled and fluid a condition, as regards both forms and style, that it is often hard to say what is correct and what not. A foreigner naturally cannot venture to decide what ought or ought not to be, and I have merely endeavoured to give an account of the forms and constructions found in existence.

(Excerpt from The East Africa Protectorate In the followi...)
Excerpt from The East Africa Protectorate In the following pages I have endeavoured to give some account of the British East Africa Protectorate, that is, roughly speaking, our territories between Lake Victoria and the Indian Ocean, whoso value is only now beginning to be understood. While omitting no aspect of the country which seemed likely to prove interesting, my special object has been to point out the opportunity which it offers for European colonisation and the interesting effect which such a colony may have on tho future development of Africa. After a brief historical retrospect, I have devoted three chapters to an account of the physical features of the country. Much of the territory is still imperfectly known, and even those who have claims to special knowledge are continually surprised by tho discovery of new districts, healthy, fertile, and suitable as a residence for Europeans. In this year, though six weeks of it have not yet elapsed, I have received reports of two such districts in parts of the Protectorate which were supposed to be barren, one in the north of the Rift Valley, and one near tho western extremity of the German boundary. After giving some account of tho country, I have touched on the various tribes which compose the somewhat scanty native population, and then, assuming that tho reader has acquired a sufficient acquaintance with the lie of the land and the character of its inhabitants, have proceeded to discuss tho prospects which it holds out to intending colonists, and such questions as climate, health, and products. I have next examined some problems connected with our administration, and suggested some improvements in the present somewhat imperfect system.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
