England: Being the Official Account of His Visit to the
Coronation of His Majesty King Edward VII,
translated and edited by the Rev Ernest Millar (London:
Hutchinson, 1904). This is the edition cited throughout
this article. An abbreviated version, edited with rather
heavy hand by Taban lo Liyon, was published in 1975 as
Sir Apolo Kagwa Discovers Britain, in Heinemann's
African Writers Series. The latter substitutes
unattributed pictures of British scenes for Hatterley's
photographs.

Ibid., p. 82. Herbert Louis Samuel,
First Viscount Samuel (1870-1963), later high
commissioner in Palestine under the British mandate, was
then a young MP. He took a particular interest in
African questions and had toured Uganda in 1902. On his
return, he wrote and lectured on the Protectorate,
illustrating his lecture to the Royal Society of Arts
"with lantern slides from some of the many photographs I
had taken." He spoke in the House of Commons on the
Uganda Railway and was delighted at this opportunity to
repay the Katihiro's hospitality. See Viscount Samuel,
Memoirs (London: Cresset Press, 1945), pp. 33-37,
42; John Bowle, Viscount Samuel: A Biography
(London: Victor Gollancz, 1957), pp.46-48; Journal of
the Royal Society of Arts 51 (1903): 390-400. A
footnote in the Memoirs refers to Uganda's
Katihiro in England as "a frank and delightfully
naïve picture of our civilization, as seen through the
eyes of intelligent Africans who had never before been
outside their own remote and isolated country" (p. 35).

Hattersley's educational work is in
need of study and reassessment. Controversial at the
time (Hattersley's resignation in 1913 was precipitated
by disputes over the running of Mengo), it has been
variously assessed since. See, for example, John V.
Taylor, The Growth of the Church in Buganda
(London: SCM Press, 1958), p93.
