Juan Maria Schuver was born to a wealthy Amsterdam business family in the mid-19th century. Established at a young age as a travel writer and reporter, he decided to embark on scientific exploration. Leaving Cairo at the turn of 1880-1881 he proceeded up the Blue Nile, intending to find a new route through to the East African coast. This ambition was frustrated, mainly because of local political turbulence following the Mahdist challenge to the Sudanese government and internal stirrings in Abyssinia. As a result, Schuver remained for the better part of two years in the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the eastern watershed of the White Nile basin. He wrote lively accounts of these regions and his encounters with the local people. He had to return to Khartoum at the end of 1882, but took a steamer up the White Nile in the middle of 1883. He ignored advice not to travel further southwards overland and was murdered a few days into western Dinka country. Schuver had planned books in both English and French on his explorations in the country 'Between the Two Niles'. The only version which saw publication was an edited German translation, prepared by Petermann's Mitteilungen as a special issue in 1883. A combination of chance, the editors' interest in the region, and the collaboration of the Schuver family led to the re-discovery of the original manuscripts. The present volume offers the full English accounts supplemented by passages from the author's French revisions, and also draws on other drafts and letters, to give for the first time a full picture of Schuver's African travels.

Original blue cloth, upper board with Society's device in gilt and blind-ruled border, spine lettered in gilt, original dustwrapper; pp. cvii, [1 (blank)], 392, [4 (blank)]; frontispiece, illustrations, 7 full-page, maps, one full-page, 2 full-page and colour-printed; dustwrapper slightly rubbed at extremities and marked on lower panel, otherwise fine. First edition. 2nd series, no. 184. Schuver's accounts of his travels in the Sudan, Ethiopia and around the Blue Nile, were first published in German by Petermann as Reisen im oberen Nilgebiet (Gotha: 1883), and this work was originally planned as an English translation of the German text. However, a search for materials by Schuver's descendants revealed the existence of a previously-unknown cache of Schuver's manuscripts in a concealed cupboard; this edition is based on Schuver's original English text, together with translations from other pieces originally written in French, German, or Dutch.
