Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Explorations and Adventures in the Wilds of Africa: Containing Graphic Stories of Marvellous Discoveries by World-Renowned Travelers
Few subjects command more attention at the present day than this very one of Explorations and Adventures in the Wilds of Africa. It may be said, on the other hand, that of making many books there is no end, and since there are many in the libraries, published upon this subject, ' another is not necessary. But there is this point to be considered Such libraries are not accessible, except in the large cities, and even there no one has so complete a collection on this special subject as the sources to which the author has had access. Again, some of the books are rare, and would be cheaply purchased at their weight in gold, although some portions of their pages would rather cause the average reade to value them at their weight in lead, for heavy reading.
