Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Savage Africa: Being the Narrative of a Tour in Equatorial, Southwestern and Northwestern Africa; With Notes on the Habits of the Gorilla, on the Existence of Unicorns and Tailed Men; On the Slave-Trade; On the Origin, Character, and Capabilities of the Negro
The narrative portions of this work have been compiled from letters written home to a friend at monthly intervals. This will account for the familiar and sometimes egotistical tone which I fear that I have not entirely subdued.
Certain grave facts which' I plucked in Africa I allowed to ripen-in my brain, like fruit laid out in the sun. After mature study and re?ection, I have ventured to prepare them into theo ries, and to offer them to the scientific reader.
