– “a Journal of Adventures whilst exploring Lake Nyassa, Central Africa, and establishing the settlement of “Livingstonia””
– (Limited edition – 245 of 750)
“Our exploration of Lake Nyassa enables me to treat fully upon some of those extraordinary features which appear to be peculiar to these great inland seas, and which are now exciting so much curiosity. It also becomes a positive duty to set forth the slow but steady desire on the part of the native tribes to have Europeans amongst them; and then, again, it may stimulate future ventures if I recount the manner in which it was proved possible to carry a steam-vessel over very great natural obstacles, up mountainous passes and through break-neck gorges. To attempt this latter feat was the main reason of my setting out once more for Africa, and it is with deep thank- fulness to Him who granted success to us that I enter upon the details of the enterprise.”
Price: R450
Edition: Reprint (Facsimile edition of the 1877 text)
Published: 1984
Publishers: The Rotary Club of Blantyre
Condition: Cloth hardcover (and gilt lettering and emblem) in good condition. Minor shelf wear around the edges of the cover and top and bottom of the spine.
