The Times. —‘One does not often meet with a book of travel in Africa 
so full of interest and novelty as “ Timbuctoo the Mysterious.” M. Dubois 
does not profess to be more than a tourist, but he is a tourist of the best 
class, with many of the characteristics of the cultured explorer. His 
narrative affords an excellent picture of the present condition of things on 
the Niger,, of the character of the river and the country it waters, of the 
varied types of people on its banks, of their extensive boat traffic, of their 
towns, and of their daily life.’ 
The Academy. —‘ It would be difficult to overrate the importance of this 
book to the student of geography, or of foreign and colonial politics, or to the 
many who are interested in Africa. It is impossible, in a short and cursory 
notice, to do justice to the manifest care, learning, and love which M. 
Dubois has bestowed upon his subject.’ 
ACTUAL AFRICA 
Or, The Coming Continent 
By FRANK VINCENT 
Author of ‘The Land of the White Elephant,’ etc. 
With Map and over 100 New Illustrations. Demy %vo, 24^. 
Mr. H. M. Stanley writes :—‘ It is really a wonderful book. It is not 
only a book of reference upon almost any subject connected with Africa, 
but most admirably illustrated. The pictures are a credit to your skill.’ 
The Academy. — { Mr. Vincent is a shrewd observer of men and things, 
and his facile pen is adequate to a faithful reproduction of the scenes and 
sights which he describes from personal knowledge. This volume may 
safely be consulted by students anxious to inform themselves on the actual 
condition of those parts of the African continent and neighbouring islands 
which were visited by the author during his last expedition, extending over 
the years 1891-1893.’ 
The Pall Mall Gazette.— 4 The reader cannot fail to be impressed by 
the author’s amazing powers of minute observation, untiring energy, and 
thorough mastery of detail. By no means the least pleasing feature of the 
book is the excellence of its illustrations, of which there are over a hundred ; 
they testify very powerfully to the possibilities of the camera in experienced 
hands.’
