The author states that this work is not intended as a narrative of great pioneering exploration, this having been done by others before him such as Stanley, nor of scientific research, the author not being qualified to do so, but rather a guide-book for would-travellers to the region or \"stay-at-homes\" who are interested in the subject. A good-looking copy, re-backed sympathetically, preserving original decorated boards. 470 pp with etched frontis & 2 plates, numerous text illustrations by the artistically gifted author, and 3 maps of which 2 are folding. Generally in very good condition except for some foxing on frontis and map at rear, slight damp stain on frontis two inner corners, bookplate inside covers.
