Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Congo Treaty Stanley Pool appear from Mr. Morgan's account to be consider able; a road, however, has been constructed. Mr. Morgan repeats the account we have heard from Mr. Stanley and Mr. Johnston, that 5000 miles of navigable rivers are accessible from Stanley Pool. The difficulties that would beset philanthropists, missionaries, travellers, and merchants in gaining the navigable part of the river were remarked upon by Mr. Waller, and Mr. H. H. Johnston in reference to the so-called liberal terms at present in vogue in Mozambique, said, those who knew anything of Mozambique would think that the terms were rather illiteral than otherwise. He, therefore, thought it a very unfortunate thing if Portugal was allowed to occupy Landana and Banana (at the mouth of the Congo), the two points which would affect the Congo in the future. It is important to put this Opinion Of Mr. Johnston clearly forward, -, for he has been sup posed to be an advocate, or at least an apologist, for the treaty. We shall refer to his views again.
