Abstract
A SUMMARY of our present knowledge of Northern Africa, and a memoir of the late Sir Samuel Baker, may be appropriately considered together, for Baker's main title to fame rests on the work he did in that region; and had his experience been properly utilised, the most interesting part of it might not have been lost to civilisation and closed to scientific inquiry.
