Abstract
THE “Heart of Africa” is a valuable contribution to African literature, and we lay down the last volume with regret. This regret is enhanced by the grievous disappointment all geographers must feel that a man so capable and so reliable as Dr. Schweinfurth should have limited his scientific acquirements to botany and natural history without having qualified himself as a traveller by the use of astronomical instruments.
The Heart of Africa; or, Three Years' Travels and Adventures in the Unexplored Regions of the Centre of Africa.
By Dr. Georg Schweinfurth. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. 2 vols. (London: Sampson Low and Co., 1874.)
