The Book Of Travels In Africa From The Earliest Ages To The Present Time PDF Download

Excerpt from The Book of Travels in Africa, From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time: Compiled From the Best Authorities To Sir Robert Ker Porter, my friend since the days of boyhood, I am indebted, for having perfected several drawings with his experienced pencil, from my hasty, but yet faithful sketches of the people of Gen tral Africa. His eye was nearly as familiar as my own with the picturesque objects they display; and, indeed, all who are acquainted with the published narrative of his Researches amongst the Remains of Ancient Persia and Babylonia, might readily recognize the same hand, in these his spirited delineations of African Costume and character. Our steel plate embellishments are reduced from the large ones in the quarto volume, above referred to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
