Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Littell's Living Age, Vol. 186: July, August, September, 1890
I will, without further preface, proceed to give some account of this great central African forest. As the mariner approaches the western coast of Africa above the river Campo. Situated 2 north of the equator, and sails southward along the land as far as the Gaboon estuary or river, the southern shores of which run in a parallel line with the equator and only a few miles north of it, he beholds all the way, reaching down to the water's edge, a dense, unbroken for est, and far inland, several mountain ranges covered with trees to their very top. These mountains are known under the name of Sierra del Crystal. They are gradually lost to sight as one nears the Gaboon.
