'The original German edition of this handbook - entitled "Afrika: Ein Handbuch für Wirtschaft und Reise" - was issued in 1930. The reception with which this publication met on the part of the general public, both in Europe and Africa, was so encouraging that it became necessary to publish a second edition, considerably enlarged, in the Spring of 1931.

The editors also received suggestions from several quarters to the effect that an English edition of the book would be welcome. They therefore decided to comply with them and have now pleasure in submitting the present volume to the English-speaking public.'
