PREFACE. 
tíF 
Tn conclusion, I have to thank Mr. Phil. Rohinson, the author of In my 
Indian Garden,’ for assisting me in the revision of ray work. My acknowledg 
ments are also due to Lieut. S. Schofield Sugden, R.N,, for the jjerscveraneo 
and enthusiasm with which he recalculated all my observations, making even 
the irksome compilations of maps a pleasant task. In their drawing anjl 
engraving work, Mr. E. Weller and Mr. E. Stanford, and in the intelligent 
rejvroduction of my pictures, Mr. J. D. Cooper, have earned my thanks, 
and in no less a degree Messrs. William Clowes and Sons, for the caio and 
despatch with which these volumes have been ¡irepared for the public.

PUBLISHERS’ NOTE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. 
It will he observed that Mr. Stanley refers to th^K volumes, meaning 
of course the original edition in two vols. He is at present again somewhere 
on The Congo, and therefore unable to alter in any way the original text, which 
his publishers in obedience to popular demand now produce in one volume.
