1873 1ed Richard Burton Lands Cazembe Africa Exploration MAP Royal Geographical
Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was an important explorer and ethnologist. He wrote over 80 books, from travel and exploration to anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, poetry and Eastern Literature.
The Royal Geographical Society published these early accounts of Portuguese journeys into the African interior, 'The Land of Cazembe' with Burton's translations in the wake of increased interest in African exploration due to Livingstone's travels.

1866 1ed
Albert Nyanza Nile Tributaries AFRICA
Egypt Abyssinia Samuel Baker Maps

Samuel White Baker was an English explorer and was the first Englishman to sit in a high office of the Egyptian government. Many of Baker's works shed light on the horrors of slave owners and slave trade in central Africa. His works, however, also centralized on Egypt and the Abyssinia Nile tributaries. He had an extensive knowledge of Egypt as he held important political officers in Egypt.
His accounts of Egypt and the Nile River Basin are some of the most important 19th-century books on the Nile River and helped record the discovery of Lake Albert. 'The Albert N'yanza, Great Basin of the Nile' is Baker's account of his discovery of the last great source of the Nile.
