Work by noted empire-builder, explorer and administrator, who says 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-be travellers to the region. Much on the tribes of the Western Congo basin. 470 pp with numerous text illustrations and engraved plates and two maps - all present. Good condition in contemporary half calf with marbled-paper covered boards. Very slight foxing in prelims, otherwise nice, clean copy. The map has been expertly repaired along some folds, and there are a fe insignificant marginal tears on 5 pages.
