" The vohmie which Captain Speke has presented to the -world possesses more than a geo- 

 graphical interest. It is a monument of perseverance, courage, and temper displayed under 

 difficulties wliich have perhaps never been equalled."— Tmes. 



" Captain Speke has not written a noble book so much as he has done a noble deed. The 

 volume which records his vast achievement is but tlie minor fact — the history of his discovery, 

 not the discovery itself : yet even as a literary performance it is worthy of very high praise. It 

 is wholly free from the traces of book manufacture. ... It is, however, a great story that 

 is thus plainly told ; a story of which nearly all the interest lies in the strange facts related, and, 

 more than all, in the crowning fact that it frees us in a large degree from a geographical puzzle 

 which had excited the curiosity of mankind — of the most illustrious emperors and communities 

 — from very early times." — Athenceum.

"The whole of the book is as well worth reading as that published extract. It conveys a very 

 fair idea of what manner of men they are who are now fighting in the South for their indepen- 

 dence ; and being written in a very unpretending style, it is both an agreeable and valuable 

 glimpse of the interior of the Confederacy." — Spectator.
