Excerpt from Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile On the east coast, near Zanzibar, We find the rains fol lowing the track of the sun, and lasting not more than forty days on any part that the sun crosses whilst the Winds blow from south-west or north-east, towards the regions heated by its vertical position. But in the centre Of the continent, Within 5 of the equator, we find the rains much more lasting. For instance, at 5 south lati tude, for the whole six months that the sun is in the south, rain continues to fall, and I have heard that the same takes place at 5 north; whilst on the equator, or rather a tri e to northward Of it, it rains more or less the whole year round, but most at the equinoxes, as Shown in the table on the following page. The winds, though some what less steady, are still very determinable. With an easterly tending, they de ect north and south, following the sun. In the drier season they blow SO cold that the sun's heat is not distressing; and in consequence of this, and the average altitude of the plateau, which is 3000 feet, the general temperature Of the atmosphere is very pleasant, as I found from experience for I walked every inch of the journey dressed in thick woollen clothes, and slept every night between blanketsfx' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Discovery of the Source of the Nile By John Hanning Speke The Discovery of the Source of the Nile is a classic travelogue by the British Army officer John Hanning Speke. Speke undertook three exploratory expeditions to Africa but he is most associated with the search for the source of the Nile and the discovery and naming of Lake Victoria. Despite being temporarily blinded and deafened, he continued his journey and returned with this memoir which describes parts of sub-Saharan Africa which had never been seen before by Europeans. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience. the discovery of the source of the nile john hanning speke, journal of the discovery of the source of the nile, what led to the discovery of the source of the nile

Journal Of The Discovery Of The Source Of The Nile This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Excerpt from Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, Vol. 4 of 6: In the Years 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772, and 1773, in Six Volumes The Arabs of Sennaar that are on bad terms with the governor of Atbara, fly hither across the desert to avoid the rapine and violence of that cruel tyrant. The arrival of these produces in an instant the greatest plenty at Ras el Feel; markets are held every where; cattle of all kinds, milk, butter, elephants teeth, hides, and several other commodities, are sold to a great amount. The Arabs are of many different tribes; the chief are the Daveina, then the Nile. These, besides getting a good market, and food for their cattle and protection for themselves, have this great additional advantage, they escape the Fly, and consequently are not pillaged, as the rest of the Arabs in Atbara are, when changing abodes to avoid the havock made by that infect. In return for this, they constantly bring horses from Atbara, below Sennaar, for the king's own use, and for such of his cavalry who are armed with coats of mail, no Abyssinian horse, or very few at least, being capable of that burden. Ayto Consu had many districts of land from his father Kasmati Netcho, as well as some belonging to his mother Ozoro Esther, which lay upon that frontier; it was called Ras el Feel, and had a fendick and nagareet, but, as it was governed always by a deputy who was a Mahometan, it had no rank among the great governments of the state.

Excerpt from Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, in the Years 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772, and 1773, Vol. 3 of 5 The island itself is very small, scarce three quarters of a mile in length, and about half that in breadth, one-third occupied by houses, one by cisterns to receive the rain-water, and the last is reserved for burying the dead. Masuah, as we have already observed, was one of those towns on the west of the Red Sea that followed the conquest of Arabia Felix by Sinan Baiha, under Selim emperor of Constantinople. At that time it was a place of great commerce, possessing a share of the Indian trade in common with the other ports of the Red Sea near the mouth of the Indian Ocean. It had a considerable quantity of exports brought to it from a great tract of mountainous country behind it, in all ages very unhospitable, and almost inaccessible to strangers. Gold and ivory, elephants and buffaloes hides, and, above all, slaves, of much greater value, as being more sought after for their personal qualities than any other sort, who had the misfortune to be reduced to that condition, made the principal articles of exportation from this port. Pearls, considerable for size, water, or colour, were found all along its coast. The great convenience of commodious riding for vessels, joined to these valuable articles of trade, had overcome the inconvenience of want of water, the principal necessary of life, to which it had been subjected from its creation.
