I n offering this short connected history of my first
two explorations in Africa, I must state that I have
been urged to do so by friends desirous of knowing
what led to the discovery of the source of the Nile.
The greater part of it was originally published in
‘ Blackwood’s Magazine; ’ but that lacked the connection
which I have now given to the conclusion of
my independent journey to and from the Victoria
N’yanza, which is the great source or reservoir of
the Nile. The manner in which I traced the Nile
down from the Victoria N’yanza to Egypt is explained
in my ‘Journal of the Discovery of the
Source of the Nile.’
