EMPIRE BUILDER EXTRAORDINARY
Sir George Goldie
D. J. M. Muffett
The story of a quite remarkable character generally regarded as "the founder
of Nigeria," Empir,,e Builder Extraordinary brings to light all the surviving
writings of Sir George Goldie, many now published for the first time. These
show him to be a great imperialist with a "crusading" spirit, a man who
deserves to be as well known as Cecil Rhodes or Gordon of Khartoum.
Empire Builder Extraordinary is the story of The Royal Niger Company and
its activities in West Africa, culminating with the ceding of its territorial
possessions to the British Crown. As the colourful Governor of the Royal
Niger Company, Sir George Goldie was remarkably successful in consolidating
British rule in the area.
Sir George Goldie made a lasting contribution to African affairs and this book
will be invaluable to all interested in African history and the role of Britian and
her Empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

FARGHER'S ENGLISH-MANX DICTIONARY
Douglas Fargher
A lifetime of research and study has been spent in compiling this monumental
English-Manx Dictionary which is the first major work connected with the
Manx lariguage to be published in the twentieth century. It is likely to remain
unrivalled.
Like De Bhaldraithe's English-Irish Dictionary, on which it is based, this
English-Manx volume provides a remedy for several decades of neglect and
finally establishes the position of Manx among the other Celtic languages. The
Manx Gaelic of the future, as well as of the past, is contained within its covers.

BIBLE CHASHERICK YN LUGHT THIE
The Manx Family Bible
This is the first edition of the Bible in Manx Gaelic since 1819. It is the only
major published work in the language, and its classical nature serves as a
model for the present day. Included in this edition are eight pages for Family
Entries and an Introduction by R. L. Thomson.
