However, he was far from typical in racial outlook of his fellow Rhodesian pioneers underlined in his book, entitled “Islam. Her Moral and Spiritual Value. A Rational and Psychological Study.” A flattering foreword was noted to the book by Syed Ameer Ali (1849-1928), order of the star of India, an Indian/British Indian jurist, a prominent political leader, and author of a number of influential books on Muslim history and the modern development of Islam.
