About This Book

A series of public addresses made during a voyage from Africa through Europe, ranging from scholarly lectures to civic and diplomatic remarks. The speaker defends colonial administration and the work of military, governmental, missionary, and native reformers in regions such as the Sudan and Egypt, urges citizens and graduates to uphold peace, justice, and independent civic professions rather than depend on government posts, discourages sectarian conflict and anti-foreign agitation, and reflects on broader themes of sentiment versus sentimentality, national duty, education, and the responsibilities of public service.
