Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of Exploration, Vol. 4: Africa The purpose of these Supplementary Readers is to quicken interest in Geography by stories of adventurous travel. They are not intended to serve as a history of exploration, but it is hoped that they will afford an idea of some Of the main steps by which knowledge has been gained, first of the World as a Whole, and then of the separate continents outside Europe. In the present volume an attempt has been made to indicate the pronunciation of difficult names. This cannot be done fully without an elaborate system of diacritical marks, and even then the task bristles with problems. It is hoped, however, that even the limited guidance that can here be given Will be helpful. In the preparation Of the present volume we have been specially indebted to Mr. F. R. Cana. The well-known authority on African history and geography, for much generous assistance. We are grateful also to the Royal Geographical Society for permission to reproduce portraits from the Society's collection; to Mr. Edward Heawood, m.a., the Society's Librarian, for reading the manuscript and placing at our disposal his un rivalled knowledge of geographical literature; and to Mr. A. A. Sainsbury, b.a Headmaster of the Council School at Northwood, for reading the manuscript and giving us the benefit of his advice as a practical teacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Exploration and Adventure in Africa The name "The Dark Continent," appropriately given to Africa, will soon cease to be applicable to that interesting continent-the third in point of size of the great divisions of the globe. Our knowledge of that great continent until within the past forty years was very limited; but the host of travelers, who, following the example of Bruce and Mungo Park, have penetrated into the innermost recesses of Africa, leave little fresh ground to be explored. Very soon our future Livingstones and Stanleys will sigh in vain, like Alexander, for fresh worlds to conquer, and Africa, the last of the continents to yield its secrets to the prying eyes of Western civilization, will cease to be a terra incognita.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Okavango River: A Narrative of Travel, Exploration and Adventure A word more before I conclude. As I have found it cur rently believed, both on the Continent and at home, that the Royal Geographical Society or that the British govern ment has paid the costs of my several explorations in the interior of Africa, I must, in justice to myself, contradict this statement in the most unqualified manner. The ex penses of all my African expeditions have been defrayed entirely by myself. In this volume I have seen reason to alter the spelling of a few places mentioned in Lake Ngami.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An African Adventure Rom earliest boyhood when I read the works of Henry M. Stanley and books about Cecil Rhodes, Africa has called to me. It was not until I met General Smuts during the Great War, however, that I had a definite reason for going there. After these late years of blood and battle America and Europe seemed tame. Besides, the economic war after the war developed into a struggle as bitter as the actual physical conflict. Discord and discon tent became the portion of the civilized world. I wan ted to get as far as possible from all this social unrest and financial dislocation. So much interest was evinced in the magazine articles which first set forth the record of my jour ney that I was prompted to expand them into this book. It may enable the reader to discover a section of the one-time Dark Continent without the hard ships which I experienced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Footsteps in East Africa If this is true, one of the greatest dangers to which civilisation has ever been exposed lies close before us now. The age of exploration is dead. Except for a few scarcely inhabited plateaus in Central Asia, and a few hummocks of indistinguish able ice around the poles, the general surface of the earth has now been accurately surveyed, its languages interpreted, its customs catalogued and compared. The final period of adventure, as we have under stood the word, has drawn to a Close; it can never be revived, and our children will have either to live rather tediously upon its records or to change their nature. In its last and greatest stage it continued through four centuries - say from the voyages of Columbus to the journeys of Stanley, and each century was celebrated by discoveries that fill us with an envy never now to be satisfied. The Americas, Asia, the Pacific, and Australia all come in their turn, bringing astonishment to mankind, and the joy of true adventure to their explorers. Last century gave us Africa as the last field of ex ploration, and with it the fitting men of the explorer breed. Mungo Park, Moffat, Livingstone, Grant, Speke, Samuel Baker, Cameron, Stanley - those are the names that come at once to every one's mind when Africa is mentioned. And among them is Richard Burton's.
