    Attoh founded "The Gold Coast Leader" in 1896 and was considered to be the most influential newspaper of its day. Many Gold Coast Nationalists used it as a platform and these selections, first published in 1911, went on to influence an entire generation of Ghanians.

    The Gold Coast nation and national consciousness; the difficult art of thinking nationally; wanted - help, not hindrance; what are you going to do for the homeland?; I am - I can; I ought - I will; the moral significance of Christmas Day; the white man and his West African understudy; the ancient town of Cape Coast and her detractors, black and white; gallant Accra in the brave days of yore; one-man policy - a curse of West Africa; competition - a sine qua non of genuine progress.
