Presentation copies of this important work are rare with only around twenty thought to exist. Inscribed on the title-page: 'John G. Children Esq FRS / British Museum / with the author's best / wishes / D. Denham', and with the bookplate of Halstead Place, Children's home. John George Children (1777-1852) was a British natural historian who was Keeper of the Zoology Department of the British Museum from 1837 to 1840. In 1833 he was founding president of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London. He was however much more comfortable with mineralogy than zoology: he constructed a large galvanic cell with Sir Humphry Davy in 1813, conducting several experiments, and invented a method to extract silver from ore without the need for mercury in 1824. The official expedition to discover the course of the Niger from the starting point of Tripoli, rather than West Africa. Denham and Clapperton were part of the expedition led by the Scottish doctor Walter Oudney to open relations with the Fulani kingdom, whose legendary trading centre was Kano, in order to discover the source of the Niger, which was widely believed to flow into Lake Chad. Having crossed the Sahara and found no rivers entering Lake Chad, the party divided with Denham exploring the Shari River and Oudney and Clapperton (who shared a mutual loathing of Denham) proceeding to Kano. Oudney died enroute but Clapperton was received by the ruler of Kano, Mohammed Bello who, having first supplied an accurate map of the course of the Niger, later backtracked and supplied a different, more misleading, map when he realised the dangers of opening up his kingdom to foreigners. Clapperton rejoined Denham at Lake Chad and back across the Sahara. Gay 337; Hilmy I, 172; Lowndes I, 629; cf. Playfair, Tripoli, 154 (3rd ed.).

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Very Good. 2nd Edition. hird edition recounting the attempt of Dixon Denham (1786-1828), Hugh Clapperton (1788-1827) and Dr Walter Oudney (1790-1824) to trace the course of the Niger river. With previous attempts to trace the Niger having ended in disaster, Denham, Clapperton and Oudney were dispatched on an ex…pedition in 1822 to approach the river from Tripoli. A veteran of Waterloo and a friend of the Duke of Wellington, Denham was given command but treated his colleagues with such contempt that he soured relations between them from the start. After being delayed at Murzuq, the party crossed the skeleton-littered Sahara and reached Kuka (Kukawa) in the kingdom of Bornu (later Nigeria) in February 1823. Here the party separated, with Clapperton and Oudney making for Kano and Denham investigating Lake Chad. Following Oudney's death, Denham and Clapperton undertook a terrible desert crossing back to Tripoli and reached England in June 1825. Although it failed to find the Niger, the expedition opened much of north central Africa to European knowledge.'Denham, fêted in London as the hero of the expedition, and elected a fellow of the Royal Society, published his Narrative . in which he suppressed as much as possible all mention of his companions, and took the credit for some of their discoveries. Written in a lively style, and embellished with engravings of his own sketches, it became one of the classics of its genre' (ODNB).A first edition was published in 1826; this edition, the third, appeared two years later. Although the title-page and preface continues to make reference merely to 'the late Doctor Oudney', the truth was that Clapperton himself had died the previous year while being detained in the Fulani capital of Sokoto, and that Denham would soon join his erstwhile companions (although we should not call them friends), when he succumbed to malaria in June 1828 in the British colony of Sierra Leone (of which he had shortly before been appointed governor-general).

Dixon attempted to follow the circuit around Lake Tchad but was unsuccessful. In the meantime, Clapperton and Oudney journeyed west from the lake toward the Niger River, but the doctor only made it about a third of the way and died in Murmur. Clapperton continued west, but was prevented from passing beyond Sackatoo by the local Sultan. He and Denham subsequently returned to Tripoli and crossed back to England. This narrative is compiled primarily from Denham's journal, with a chapter by Dr. Oudney on the excursion to the mountains west of Mourzuk. A final section by Clapperton relates the westward journey from Lake Tchad to Sackatoo and includes an account of Oudney's death. Among the several appendices are translations from the Arabic of various letters and documents brought back by Denham and Clapperton, including a document relating to the death of Mungo Park; a translation from the Arabic of a geographical and historical account of the Kingdom of Tak-roor, from a larger work composed by Sultan Mohammed Bello of Hausa; vocabularies of Bornou, Begharmi, Mandara, and Timbuctoo; appendices on the zoology and botany of the regions based on samples collected by Dr. Oudney; a note on rock specimens; and a thermometrical journal kept at Kouka in Bornou. The engravings, after drawings by Denham and Clapperton, are superbly engraved by Edward Finden, one of the finest steel-engravers in England at the time.
