Africa.- Burton (Sir Richard Francis) The Lake Regions

Item Details

Description

Africa.- Burton (Sir Richard Francis) The Lake Regions of Central Africa, 2 vol., first edition, second issue, half-titles, 12 chromoxylograph plates, wood-engraved illustrations, folding map at end of vol.2, later red half morocco by Bayntun, spines gilt, joints a little rubbed, [Penzer pp.65-66], 8vo, 1860.

⁂ The Lake Regions of Central Africa is considered Burton's best writing and is also his first attack in print on Speke, with whom he travelled to Central Africa. Speke was the first to return to England, publishing his account in Blackwood's Magazine, and taking credit for their "discovery" of Lake Nyanza and the source of the White Nile. Burton countered with his denouncement of Speke's "inaccurate data and outrageous speculations" which the Royal Geographical Society printed in full, perhaps in retaliation for Speke having turned to Blackwood's Magazine for publication even though the Royal Society had sponsored the expedition.
