THE journeys here recorded were made so long ago as 1862 and 1863. Since that time Capt, Burton has not been idle; between exploring and publishing the results of his explorations he has sufficient excuse for having kept from the public for so long the narrative of his trips to the Gaboon and the Congo. Moreover, as he says himself, Africa moves so slowly, that ten years makes scarcely any appreciable change on a locality. The publication of the work at the present time is opportune, as public attention is being directed to the region with which it is concerned; the German African Society have taken up the Congo district as a point de départ for the interior, and although the expedition sent out has not been so successful as might; be wished, still Dr. Pogge and Dr. Lasaulx, according to the latest news, are endeavouring to push inwards from Loanda. There have been several explorers on the same ground since Capt. Burton visited it twelve years ago, and there have been many previous explorers—the stretch of coast included in the two narratives contains some of the earliest Portuguese settlements; but as was shown in his recently-published book on Iceland, this widely experienced traveller and keen observer can shed new and unexpected light even on the most frequently trodden paths. The present work will be found a substantial contribution to our knowledge of the Gaboon and Congo districts, especially in the matters of geography, topography, and people.Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo.By Richard F. Burton. Two vols. (London; Sampson Low and Co., 1876.)
