Third Edition. 8vo. cloth gilt. 21*. 



" It solves finally a geographical riddle which hitherto has been extremely perplexing, 

 and it adds much to our information respecting Egyptian Abyssinia and the different races 

 spread over it. It contains, moreover, some notable instances of English daring and enter- 

 prising skill ; it abounds in animated tales of exploits dear to the heart of the British 

 sportsman ; and it will attract even the least studious reader, as the author tells a story 

 well, and can describe nature with uncommon power." — The Times. 



" Sir Samuel Baker imparts to his narrative of travel great liveliness and interest, and 

 takes his readers cheerfully and pleasantly along with him. He is always natural and never 

 dull, and frequently presents us with bold, original, striking scenes, painted with an 

 excellent touch."— Saturday Review. 



" This charming volume, better written than most essays, and fuller of interest than most 

 novels, ought to have for its second title 'The Compensations of African Travel.' It is the 

 best book of sporting adventures it was ever our lot to read " — Spectator. 



New and CJieaper Edition of 



THE ALBERT N'YANZA GREAT BASIN OF 

 THE NILE, 



AND EXPLORATIONS OF THE NILE SOURCES. 



With Maps, Portraits, aud Illustrations. 

 Two V r ols. Crown 8vo. cloth, extra gilt. 16.?. 



"Charmingly written, full, as might be expected, of incident, and free from that weari- 

 some reiteration of useless facts which is the drawback to almost all books of African 

 travel. "—Spectator. 



"The author, while he equals other African explorers in judgment and daring, far exceeds 

 them in literary capacity. He has produced two volumes which can be read straight 

 through with ease and pleasure, and has adorned them with a profusion of spirited illustra- 

 tions which prove his skill as a draughtsman. "—Guardian. 



" We have no hesitation in saying that, as a book of travel, his volumes are not exceeded 

 in interest by any work published either in modem or in former times." — London Review.
