First edition. This work consists of an edited text of Friedrich Hornesmann's journal of his travels from Cairo to Murzuk, between 1797 and 1798 together with an introduction by E W Bovill. Also Alexander Gordon Laing's mission to Timbucktu from 1824 until his death in 1826, has been built up from miscellaneous material drawn from various contemporary sources. All the more important contemporary documents, whether in Laing's hand or not, have been printed exactly as they were written, but the fragmentary material which can be drawn from less important letters and official dispatches has been turned into editorial notes which are interpolated in the text. Volume two begins with the editor's introduction in which he discusses the text and the historical background and fill in the details of the Narrative. It is followed by the first two annotated chapters of the Narrative, together with reconstructed itineraries of the various expeditions. It also includes some additional document by Denham and Oudney which throw further light on the Mission. The third volume covers the Mission's exploration of Bornu and adjoining countries, with full notes and reconstructed itineraries of the various expeditions. Volume four is devoted to Clapperton's account of his exploration of Hausa and his stay in Sokoto.
