Travels in the Coastlands of British East Africa and the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba

Abstract

THIS handsome volume deals with a part of East Africa which, in spite of its apparent accessibility, has down to the present day remained surprisingly little known to the world at large. In the general rush to explore the more remote recesses of the African continent, many of the immediate coastlands have been left comparatively unheeded, and nowhere, perhaps, has this been more the case than in the northern districts of the British sphere along the East African coast. The present book, therefore, fills a decided blank in the literature of the continent.

Travels in the Coastlands of British East Africa and the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba.

By W. W. A. FitzGerald. Pp. xxiv + 774. Maps and illustrations. (London: Chapman and Hall, 1898.)
