FISHER UNWIN 1911 2:ii\i5 S (4U rights reserved.) TO MY WIFE PREFACE Northern Nigeria is the most recent acquisitionof the British Empire. Its area is approximately250,000 square miles, and its population, at amoderate estimate, 8,000,000 inhabitants. Itsmediaeval civilisation and its medley of tribes andraces were first described by Barth some sixty yearsago, and up to the closing years of the nineteenthcentury there were few or no changes in theinternal condition of the country. The pagans ofthe forests and the hills continued to be ruthlesslyraided by the Mohammedan slavers of the north,while the Fulani administration of the ancientHausa States became more and more corrupt.
