' Will be of the greatest interest to sportsman, traveller, and man of science.' — Pall Mall Gazette. 



'Tells in clear, succinct, and well-chosen language the tale of a very adventurous journey.' — 

 Standard. 



' A most important as well as original contribution to the literature of African discovery and the 

 natural history, ethnology, and international problems of the Black Continent. Lovers of sport will 

 find in it much to captivate them. Perhaps the majority of readers will care most for the information 

 he gives them on the native tribes and their characteristics, and the relations between Abyssinia and 

 the countries on her borders.' — Daily News. 



'Since the publication of Stanley's " Across the Dark Continent," there has been no work of 

 African travel equal, in scientific importance and thrilling interest, to Dr. Donaldson Smith's book. 

 As a book of exciting sport, apart from its geographical and ethnological usefulness, it deserves to 

 stand alongside the best experiences of the toughest Anglo-Indian shikaris.' — Daily Telegraph.

' No country in the world has had greater need of an impartial historian than Uganda, and, strange 

 to say, though the bitter feelings engendered by the struggles of the past ten years have not had time 

 to cool, one has been found among the actors in these stormy scenes, Major Macdonald. . . . No 

 one who reads this exciting book of adventure can regret that we are spending .£3,000,000 on the 

 railway. Major Macdonald writes with considerable literary and historical skill, and his sketches 

 and maps are all excellent.' — Pall Mall Gazette.

 incidents of other kinds.' — Times. 



' An interesting record of a memorable expedition.' — Glasgow Herald.
