Travels through the Interior of Africa in Cape of Good Hope to Morocco

Abstract

The avidity with which travels into Africa have been read by the public, promises to secure to this work a favourable reception. The travels hitherto published may be said to give merely a glimpse into the interior of that vast continent, and a thousand 'miles in a straight line from the coast, has been the extremity of every former excursion, while our present author has explored an extent of ten thousand miles through the very heart of the, country. VAILLANT, PARKE, BRUCE, BROWNE, and SONNINI added but little to our knowledge, and after all their efforts, the map of Africa remained still disfigured by a blank space entitled “Parts wholly unknown to Europeans."
