About This Book

The work presents daily journals from prolonged inland exploration in Central Africa, blending precise itineraries and maps with meteorological, botanical, and geographical observations; field sketches and practical travel notes; descriptions of encounters with local communities and cultural practices; reflections on abolitionist and missionary concerns; and accounts of illness, endurance, and the preservation of the traveller's papers by loyal attendants, culminating in a narrated account of the traveller's final moments. The material is organized from original notebooks and reconstructed notes to form a continuous chronological narrative.

FOOTNOTES:

[66] In 1827 Linant reached 13° 30' N. on the White Nile. In 1841 the second Egyptian, under D'Arnauld and Sabatier, explored the river to 4° 42' N., and Jomard published his work on Limmoo and the River Habaiah. Dr. Beke and Mr. D'Abbadie contributed their share to making the Nile better known. Brun Rollet established a trading station in 1854 at Belema on the Nile at 5° N. lat.

[67] Miss Tinné succumbed to the dangers of African travelling before Livingstone penned these just words of appreciation.
