Book Description
Excerpt from Portuguese East Africa: The History, Scenery,& Great Game of Manica and Sofala This book is intended for the traveller, the sportsman, and for him whose delight lies in those scenes of natural unembellished beauty and grandeur which Africa possesses in such profusion and variety. So many are the books constantly published upon this great continent, that my only excuse for adding another to their number is my unwillingness that the large and important territory of which, in the course of the following pages, I have attempted a brief and inadequate description, should longer remain, as it has too long remained, in that condition of partial illumination which is, so to speak, neither light nor darkness; and if, in no matter how small a degree, I have succeeded in directing the attention of those interested in African matters to this interesting and important region, I shall feel that my effort has not been fruitless.
