Journey of the Society's East African Expedition

Abstract

The East Central African Expedition sent out by this Society in 1878, l*as finished its work; and it now falls to me as representing that Expedition to give you some account of our explorations. The task set before me is a difficult one. I have to carry you over a vast tract of country hitherto unexplored; to tell you how we accomplished our task fighting with disease and dangers which met us in a thousand shapes; to draw a panoramic view of the chief characteristics of the country and people, and tell you of the general results to science and commerce.
