A clean copy, sturdy and well preserved with minor age toning to the cloth, primarily at the spine panel. RARE AND ESPECIALLY SO IN COLLECTOR'S CONDITION. In the employ of the German government, Von Wissman was sent to investigate and report on the slave-trade in Africa. What followed became one of the most important works by a German on exploration, travel and ethnographic study of Equatorial Africa. "The present publication of my diaries is partly owing to the fact that the terrors incidental to the slave-hunt and the transport of the unfortunate human chattels are illustrated in the following pages and I can only hope that I may be enabled to excite the reader s interest in, and sympathy for, those nations which still groan under the yoke of barbarism, and which certainly have a right to our help and protection.,".
