“The notes and descriptions of a man of uncommon nerve and daring. They 
trace the course of a traveller who, forsaking all beaten tracks, plunged into the 
wilds of a country where no white man appears to have preceded him, and who 
brings before us tribes marked by hideous moral degradation, and yet of not un- 
hopeful prospects ; while as a hunter, sportsman, and naturalist, he has tales to 
tell which make the ears of all who hear to tingle.” —London Review. 
“Strikingly attractive and wonderful as are his descriptions, they all carry in 
themselves an impress of substantial trathfulness.””—S7r Roderick Murchison. 
“Tn this large volume we have-not found one page which we were inclined to 
skip. We can not too strongly express our admiration of the undaunted pluck 
and resolution which carried him to the point actually accomplished. He per- 
formed the whole distance, eight thousand miles, on foot, and the amount of fever 
he went through may be judged of by the fact that he consumed in four years 
fourteen ounces of quinine.” —Loxdon Spectator. 
“Its literary merits are considerable, for it is clear, lively, and judiciously 
pruned of unimportant details. His explorations were in no degree exempt from 
the hardships and dangers which are the condition of African travel. He sojourned 
among cannibals, panthers, crocodiles, and snakes—underwent fifty attacks of the — 
_fever—walked several hundred miles on foot, and was constantly in a condition 
‘so nearly bordering on starvation that he was sometimes, for days together, with- 
out any other food than roots and berries.” —Lonudon Saturday Review. 
‘““We must go back to the voyages of La Perouse and Captain Cook, and almost 
to the days of wonder which followed the track of Columbus, for novelties of equal 
significance to the age of their discovery. Du Chaillu struck into the very spine 
of Africa, and lifted the veil of the torrid zone from its western rivers, swamps, and 
forests. He found therein a variety of new types of living creatures, and others 
which were only partially and imperfectly known. He sojourned among tribes or 
races who feed on their kind, and he encountered the animal more formidable 
than any yet heard of.”—London Times. 
- He has contrived tp render his name forever memorable in the annals of geo- 
graphical discovery. He traveled on foot, unattended by any other white man, 
eight thousand miles, secured two thousand birds, and killed upward of two thou- 
sand quadrupeds.”—Loudon Morning Post.
