How it works

Register

Worthington first arrived in Africa as the personal secretary of Thorne Coryndon, the representative of the British South Africa Company, who was sent there to prepare for the British takeover of the Lozi kingdom, and when Coryndon was named Administrator of Northwest Rhodesia, Worthington continued to assist him and went on to become the first Secretary for Native Affairs there. This is a mix of anecdotes, ethnographical contributions and memoirs about the Central African days of yore.

235 pp, no dustjacket. Covers are spottily bleached by water drops on the red bookcloth; otherwise the book is in good clean condition. Inscribed by author, with bookplate in prelims.
