HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, and TRAVELS.
Baker (Sir Samuel W.).--THE NILE TRIBUTARIES OF ABYSSINIA, and the
Sword Hunters of the Hamran Arabs. By SIR. SAMUEL W. BAKER,
M.A., F.R.G.S. With Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations. Third Edition,
8vo. 21_s._
_Sir Samuel Baker here describes twelve months' exploration,
during which he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile
from Abyssinia, including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam,
Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and the Blue Nile, The interest attached to
these portions of Africa differs entirely from that of the White
Nile regions, as the whole of Upper Egypt and Abyssinia is capable
of development, and is inhabited by races having some degree of
civilization; while Central Africa is peopled by a race of savages,
whose future is more problematical._
THE ALBERT N'YANZA Great Basin of the Nile, and Exploration of the
Nile Sources. New and Cheaper Edition, with Portraits, Maps, and
Illustrations. Two vols. crown 8vo. 16_s._
"_Bruce won the source of the Blue Nile; Speke and Grant won the
Victoria source of the great White Nile; and I have been permitted to
succeed in completing the Nile Sources by the discovery of the great
reservoir of the equatorial waters, the Albert N'yanza, from which the
river issues as the entire White Nile._"--PREFACE.
NEW AND CHEAP EDITION OF THE ALBERT N'YANZA. 1 vol. crown 8vo. With
Maps and Illustrations, 7_s._ 6_d._
Barker (Lady).--STATION LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND. By LADY BARKER.
Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_These letters are the exact account of a lady s experience of the
brighter and less practical side of colonization. They record the
expeditions, adventures, and emergencies diversifying the daily life
of the wife of a New Zealand sheep-farmer; and, as each was written
while the novelty and excitement of the scenes it describes were fresh
upon her, they may succeed in giving here in England an adequate
impression of the delight and freedom of an existence so far removed
from our own highly-wrought civilization._"--PREFACE.
