Abstract
ONE need not yet have reached extreme old age to remember something of the extraordinary interest excited by the discovery of the great Victoria Lake and the unveiling of the sources of the Nile by Speke and Grant. A wide field for the imagination was opened up by the news of a vast expanse of water, second only to Lake Superior among fresh-water lakes, in the interior of the African continent. Dr. Carpenter7apos;s narrative enables us to substitute reality for romance, and to make the acquaintance of a country of great beauty and charm, marred, unfortunately, by the terrible plague of sleeping sickness.
