First edition. An account of Speke’s first journey to Central Africa as part of Burton’s expedition, during which Speke claimed to have discovered the source of the Nile, a claim vigourously disputed by Burton, although time was to prove Speke correct. The book is in two parts, the first a journal of adventures in Somali-Land, the second a journal of a cruise on the Tanganyika Lake. Hilmy II, p 255. Image disp.
