13. from the Review of Reviews in 1899: The continent of Africa is shared out at last�at least on paper. Future generations will smile at the glee with which serious statesmen risked war and the wreck of civilisation in order to increase the area of the African map over which their country�s influence is recognised as supreme. For the partition is a mapmaker�s partition, about as practical as the famous partition by which a pope, on a map still visible in the museum of the Propaganda at Rome, divided the whole of the New World between Portugal and Spain. That was only four hundred years ago, and to-day neither Portugal nor Spain exercises sovereignty over a single acre of the New World. So it will be with Africa. The geographers who on Afric�s downs put elephants instead of towns, were hardly more unprofitably employed than those political geographers who are carefully painting great stretches of African sand or African forest French, British, or German, as the case may be. The agreement happily arrived at between M. Cambon and Lord Salisbury as to the limits of our respective spheres of influence in Northern Africa finally divides up the whole map. Tripoli and Morocco alone remain to be scrambled for. They are the only fragments of the African plum cake yet unappropriated�on the map.
