  "Waters of the Sanjan is fiction based on fact, woven around the life of a known (Masai) warrior who lived at the turn of the century. It is an historical novel and the events portrayed were not unusual in the life of a warrior of those times. The customs and traditions are accurate; the places where events took place are real places and to date still go by the same name the Waters of the Sanjan, translated literally, Inkariak-oo-Sanjan, means "The Waters of Sweehearts", and in fact is a place that lies to the North of the famous treeless undulating savannah known the world over as The Serengeti, and to the Masai as Sirinket.

Geoffrey Cotterell , Tanzanian Affairs Waters of the Sanjan is an accurate and admirable historic record of my people, recording their way of life at another point in time, yet not so very long ago. And because not many truly authentic books have been written about us, it is, I think, a valuable record of a proud people that will enlighten the reader and allow him to glimpse another world. He may, perhaps, shudder at the horror of some of the more violent sections, but he will emerge the wiser for knowing and understanding a little of what our forefathers had to cope with , and what they suffered, not only at the hands of encroaching colonialism, but at the hand of nature; climatic disaster, diseases of man and beast and inter/intra tribal wars that were the norm and claimed with monotonous regularity the lives of many."

  The English Constitution

  Walter Bagehot

  The challenge facing Walter Bagehot while writing the essays that became his study of The English Constitution is that, infamously, there is no "English constitution," at least, not one that has ever been written down. The government of Great Britain and Ireland, in Bagehot's day, is the result of centuries of evolution, and so is the product of custom, precedent, reform, and a great degree of chance. As a "constitutional monarchy," the theory of government that Bagehot describes entails chiefly the role of the monarch, the main legislative assembly—the House of Commons—and its counterpart in the "upper house," the House of Lords which, despite its apparently higher social register, is in reality a subordinate assembly. In these arrangements, the Reform Acts of 1832 and 1867 (the latter being debated while Bagehot was writing his essays) played a major role, and loom large in Bagehot's discussion of the institutions of his day. The second edition of his work, published in 1872, takes a considered view of effects of the second phase of reform. At the time of writing, Bagehot was well settled into his role as Editor of The Economist , then a newspaper under the ownership of his father-in-law. Bagehot's prose remains eminently readable, showing a light touch and sense of humor in explaining sometimes arcane arrangements of government, and often reflecting on its contrast with American practice. His sturdy prose bears comparison with that of his contemporary, the novelist Anthony Trollope . In some ways, The English Constitution could be seen as the theoretical basis for Trollope's political novels , and those novels (especially Phineas Finn , Phineas Redux , and The Prime Minister ) as commentaries on Bagehot's theory. While now dated, Bagehot's essays were widely influential and remain the standard work on British constitutional arrangements. Woodrow Wilson took inspiration from Bagehot in his own thesis, Congressional Government , in which he called Bagehot "the most sagacious of political critics," without peer in "that field of critical exposition in which he was supreme, the philosophical analysis … of the English Constitution."
