Abstract
THE principal title of this work can hardly be said to be quite applicable to its contents, seeing that the journey it describes was made no less than twelve years ago, before the “scramble for Africa” had reached its full height. In spite, however, of the length of time which has elapsed since the events recorded took place, there is much in Dr. Schulz's pages which well repays perusal. To the class of readers which looks chiefly for an agreeable narrative of sport and adventure, it offers abundant attractions, while those who prefer more solid matter will find scattered through it a considerable amount of information on the country passed through.
