From the Preface: "The forces of Christianity and Civilisation move forward, if not always hand in hand, then at least in concurrent and interlacing paths. There is action and inter-action. The missionary enterprise is so intimately related to political movements on the one hand and to commercial undertakings on the other, that its history cannot be accurately traced without continual reference to both. The student of this history will, i hope, obtain from it, not merely a narrative of the progress of missions, but also of reasonably clear idea of the course of Central African exploration and colonisation during the past four hundred years".
