Synopsis
Excerpt from Narrative of an Exploring Voyage Up the Rivers Kwóra and Bínue (Commonly Known as the Niger and Tsádda) In 1854: With a Map and Appendices; Publsihed With the Sanction of Her Majesty's Government
I have felt obliged often to be more personal than I could have desired, and to allude to disputes and to differences over which I would gladly have thrown a veil; but as these matters have lately been made the subject of judicial proceedings, I have mentioned them, partly in my own defence, partly to show why the success of the Expedition was not more complete than it was, and also that future exploring parties might be aware of and so avoid the various stumbling-blocks which so often tended to impede our progress.
