Excerpt from A Geographical Survey of Africa, 1840 The very great and unexpected delay (above three months) which has taken place in engraving and bringing forward the map which accompanies this work, has enabled me to reconsider a few of the numerous authorities, and frequently not very specific or clear narratives which could alone be obtained as guides for the subsequent geographical survey of Africa, in order to make such amendments as appear to approach to a greater degree of accuracy in one or two points connected with African geography. The first is in reference to the Travels of Wargee, pp. 111 and 112. He gives the distance from Yaoori to the Niger, at Cabra, forty-one days' journey. On the fifth day he reached Karamanee, on the sixth day Cumba, where he crossed the Kowara; thence to Gourmon (the capital, of course) ten days; Gourmon to Moush, ten days; Moush to Imbolee, ten days; and Imbolee to the Niger, at Cabra, five days. The reader will perceive how accurately this distance, at 15 1/2 geographical miles per day, corresponds with the positions of Yaoori and Timbuctoo on the map drawn before his journey or authority was at all adverted to. Karamanee, mentioned by Wargee, is, I am convinced, the Karmassee of Park's guide, which he places in his narrative above Gourmon, instead of below it, mistakes which are quite common in the narratives of African travellers.

The owner of West Indian plantations, McQueen collected extensive information from slaves which led him correctly to the conclusion that the Niger ended in the great delta of the Blight of Benin. First published in 1840.

Excerpt from A Geography of Africa Consequently, this Series contains no maps and little variety of type; and I have intentionally avoided mentioning, cg. Exact heights, distances or sizes, small industries, and unimportant places. Wherever any definite comparisons are made, they are intended only for reference, and not to be learnt; and comparisons between the size of African and British cities have been avoided, as the conditions of native life make them only misleading.

Excerpt from Geography of Africa The facts recorded have been derived from a variety of sources, including the accounts of the best-known travellers, and papers published in scientific and other periodicals, both - English and foreign. Of works relating to Africa as a whole and general books of reference the following, in par ticular, have been consulted: Mr. A. H. Keane's Africa, in the new issue of Stanford's Compendium; Dr. W. Sievers's Afrika, published by the Leipzig Bibliographical Institute; Mr. Keltie's Partition of Africa, and Statesman's Year-book for 1896; Mr. A. Silva White's Development of Africa, with the series of maps by Mr. Ravenstein; Mr. G. G. Chisholm's Handbook of Commercial Geography, and Longman's Gazetteer; and Mr. Keane's Ethnology in the Cambridge Geographical Series; while for the chapter on the Sahara M. Schirmer's work on that region has been of great assistance, and for South Africa, Professor Wallace's Farming Industries of Cape Colony. Professor Supan's sketch of A Century of Exploration, published in Petermann's Mitteilungen for 1888, also deserves special mention. Much care has been taken to avoid inaccuracies, and it is hoped that any which may have crept in are not serious. Information regarding such will be welcomed.

James MacQueen (1778-1870) was a British geographer and also one of the most outspoken critics of the methods of the British anti-slavery campaign in the 1820s and 1830s. Although he never visited Africa, he became an acknowledged expert on the continent, through reading all available accounts, ancient and modern, as well as interviewing slave merchants while managing a sugar plantation in the West Indies. This work was published in 1840, and was aimed at assisting the expansion of colonial trading interests. In the preface he is critical of the efficacy of British attempts to eradicate the slave trade, and also of the ill-preparedness and often fatal ignorance of many explorers. He believed that with better information and planning, European involvement in Africa could be much more effective, and that the slave trade could be better reduced by the work of missionaries and by increased trade than by military intervention.
