Octavo issued in wrappers.Foreword by Jan Schuver. Second Series, volume 184. First edition. Juan Maria Schuver was born to a wealthy Amsterdam business family in the mid-nineteenth century. Established young as a travel writer and reporter, he decided to embark on scientific exploration. Leaving Cairo at the turn of 1880-1881 he proceeded up the Blue Nile, intending to find a new route through to the East African coast. This ambition was frustrated, mainly because of local political turbulence following the Mahdist challenge to the Sudanese government and internal stirrings in Abyssinia. As a result, Schuver remained for the better part of two years in the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the eastern watershed of the White Nile basin. He wrote lively accounts of these regions and his encounters with local people. He had to return to Khartoum at the end of 1882, but took a steamer up the White Nile in the middle of 1883. Somewhat impatiently, he ignored advice not to travel further southwards overland, and was murdered, a few days into western Dinka country. Schuver had planned books both in English and French on his explorations in the country "Between Two Niles". The only version which saw publication was an edited German translation, prepared by Petermann's Mitteilungen as a special issue in 1883. A combination of chance, the present editors' interest in the region, and the collaboration of the Schuver family led to the re-discovery of the original manuscripts. The present volume offers the full English accounts supplemented by passages from the author's French revision, and also draws on other drafts and letters, to give for the first time a full picture of Schuver's African travels. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.

Wendy James, Gerd Baumann & Douglas Johnson (Editors) The Hakluyt Society, London 1996 First edition ISBN 090418045X 392pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in FINE unmarked condition, bright, tight and white. The unclipped dustwrapper has some rubs but is still FINE. Juan Maria Schuver (born as- Joannes Maria Schuver) (February 26, 1852 - August 1883) was a Dutch explorer who was a native of Amsterdam. Son of a wealthy merchant, as a young man Schuver travelled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East and northern Africa. At the age of 21 he worked as a private correspondent for the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Handelsblad, covering events that took place in the Third Carlist War in Spain. Afterwards he travelled to the Balkans and reported for the Handelsblad involving action from the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). In 1879 his father died and Schuver inherited a fortune. At this time he made plans to pursue a lifelong dream, to undertake a scientific expedition to the interior of Africa. He joined the Royal Geographical Society of London and took classes on various subjects in order to prepare for his upcoming journey. In March, 1881 he reached Khartoum with a small entourage, and subsequently spent the better part of the next two-plus years performing explorations of southeastern Sudan, particularly the eastern watershed of the White Nile and the hill regions surrounding the upper Blue Nile. In southern Sudan he had a keen interest in the political and social aspects of the area, and made important historical and ethnographic observations concerning the various tribes he encountered. In August, 1883 he was fatally wounded by a spear during a skirmish with Dinka tribesman in Tek, a village that was a two-day journey from the garrison at Meshra-el-Rek. Schuver maintained extensive notebooks during the expedition, and items he collected during his stay in Sudan are now housed at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden. Ref W2.
