In offering this short connected history of my first two explorations in Africa, I must state that I have been urged to do so by friends desirous of knowing what led to the discovery of the source of the Nile. The greater part of it was originally published in 'Blackwood's Magazine;' but that lacked the connection which I have now given to the conclusion of my independent journey to and from the Victoria N'yanza, which is the great source or reservoir of the Nile. The manner in which I traced the Nile down from the Victoria N'yanza to Egypt is explained in my 'Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile.' J. H. Speke.

In the 1850s John Hanning Speke made two expeditions to Africa, the first to Somalia inspiring the second to East Africa. This 1864 book presents his memoirs of both ventures, and his identification of Lake Victoria as the source of the White Nile, a claim verified only after his death.
