Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across Africa, Vol. 1 of 2 N placing this book before the public, I am conscious of its shortcomings as a narrative having an unbroken interest for the general reader. As a fact, I never contemplated writing a book of travel but merely undertook the curney under the circumstances detailed in Chapter I. To have introduced and enlarged upon personal events, sport, the sayings and doings of my followers, &c., would have increased the size of this work to an alarming degree; for it must be remembered that the period dealt with extends over three years and five months. Nearly the Whole of that time I was on the tr& and it has been my object to make this a guide by which my footsteps may be traced by those interested in the exploration of Africa, rather than a personal narrative of adventure and travel.
