Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Africa, Vol. 1 of 2: From South to North, Through Marotseland Although the first or introductory chapter of these volumes contains sufficient prefatory matter to acquaint the reader with the objects and organisation of the expedition under discussion, a Short supplementary preface written on the eve of publica tion may not be regarded as waste of space. Fortunately in the book of travel popular notions do not demand any very high order of literary art. The leniency of the public in this direction is no doubt in a measure due to the fact that the exigencies of an explorer's life largely deprive him of the absorbing interests of the library and the study. Yet the pen is inseparably bound up with the more strenuous exer tions in the field, unless indeed discovery and a knowledge of the more inaccessible parts of the earth are to remain a mere matter of selfish and personal interest. To write an account of such an expedition as that which it was my good fortune to control from 1898 to 1900 is not in it self a difficult task. The difficulty arises with the necessity to confine the description within reasonable limits - to decide how much of the personal element may with advantage be discarded, and how much is necessary to convey to the reader a clear pic ture of the countries traversed, the characteristics of the tribes encountered, and the general conditions which the future traveller may expect to share with the author. Thus a few days' experience will in places be found to absorb a whole chapter, while in other instances three or four hundred miles are disposed of in almost as many words.

As in my previous book, so in these volumes little allusion is made in the text to astronomical and other observations. In my view these are as much out of place in what may be called the narrative of a book of travel as is the repeated detailed discussion of matters of every day occurrence by which some authors import monotony into otherwise interesting works.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Southern Africa, in the Years 1803, 1804, 1805 and 1806, Vol. 2 Three considerable rivers have their sources in the Snow Mountains, which are constantly supplied With water the whole year round from the melted snows and the rain water. Towards the south flows the Zondag's River; towards the east several small streams, which at last unite to form the great Fish River and at the foot of the mountains, on the north side, rises the sea-cow River: this flows after a while into the Orange River; and the latter, subsequent to this union, continues its course for more than a hundred miles, when it falls into the sea on the western coast. Both the other rivers run in a southerly direction - a description of them, near the mouth of each, has been given in a former part of this work.

Download or read book Speke written by Alexander Maitland and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Hanning Speke was one of the great Victorian explorers and his most famous achievement was the discovery in 1862 of the main source of the White Nile in Lake Victoria Nyanza. Born in 1827, he joined the Indian Army at the age of seventeen, and after serving for ten years he joined Sir Richard Burton's abortive expedition to Somaliland. After a military interlude in the Crimea, Speke joined Burton's second Central African expedition in the winter of 1856, twice crossed Lake Tanganyika by canoe and finally pressed on to the Ukerewe Lake which he thought was the source of the Nile; Burton was sceptical. Speke's courage, perseverance and toughness were heroic and his instinct for wild life and wild country remarkable. In 1860 Speke was put in charge of a new expedition and finally penetrated to the place where the Nile flows out of Lake Victoria Nyanza. First published in 1971, Alexander Maitland's biography remains the only full-length study of Speke.
