H. M. STANLEY, M.P. With 100 Illustrations and 5 Maps.
_Demy 8vo._ _21s._

the Portuguese settlement on the Zambesi, Nyasaland, Ujiji, the
headquarters of the Arabs, German East Africa, Uganda (where he saw
fighting in company with the late Major 'Roddy' Owen), and British
East Africa. In his book he relates his experiences, his minute
observations of native habits and customs, and his views as to the
work done in Africa by the various European Governments, whose
operations he was able to study. The whole journey extended over 7000
miles, and occupied exactly three years.
