Excerpt from The Africans at Home: Being a Popular Description of Africa and the Africans Condensed From the Accounts of African Travellers From the Time of Mungo Park to the Present Day These pages contain the condensed information supplied by thirty or forty volumes of travels, some of portentous size. All these narratives contain much that was personal to the heroic men who pene trated into regions before unknown to Europeans. It is interesting to follow the individuals of this gallant band, through their laborious researches, their difficulties and privations, and the dangers or suffer ings which they had constantly to endure. But many of them perished in their enterprise, and had not an opportunity of doing justice to their own journals, or their jottings of what they had seen and heard. Some have not had the power of writing an interesting book. Others have furnished a good account of their own wanderings, which were neces sarily limited to one part of this vast continent.
