I'm always intrigued when this blog gets visitors from Africa (the audience stats, imperfect as they are, give a country figure).
Earlier today I noticed a flurry of pageviews from Nigeria.
What can be interesting people in Nigeria?
To me Nigeria means: oil, second biggest army in sub-Saharan Africa, Ken Saro-Wiwa.
On impulse I rang down to the Reading Room and asked for anything they had on Nigeria. After a little while Matthew brought up an autobiography King George's Keys by Sir Robert Stanley. No idea what his connection is/was to the Institute - perhaps he had no connection and the book found its way to us as part of the papers of someone else.
Anyway I have it on my desk and will read it a few pages a day.
