LIFE IN THE SOUDAN: ADVENTURES AMONGST THE TRIBES, AND TRAVELS IN EGYPT, IN 1881 AND 1882.
BY Dr. JOSIAH WILLIAMS, F.R.G.S. ( Surgeon-Major, Imperial Ottoman Army, 1876-1877 ).
ILLUSTRATED.
LONDON: REMINGTON & CO., PUBLISHERS, HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN. 1884.
To SIR SAMUEL WHITE BAKER, F.R.G.S., I DEDICATE, WITH HIS PERMISSION, THIS BOOK, CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF TRAVELS IN THE SOUDAN AND EXPLORATION IN THE BASÉ OR KUNAMA COUNTRY IN 1882.

The Soudan, two years ago, was a name unknown to the million, and I will venture to say that at that time not one in fifty knew anything about it. Only those who could afford to obtain Sir Samuel Baker’s interesting and instructive work, “The Nile Sources of Abyssinia,” would be acquainted with the locality and other particulars.
The literature extant on Egypt proper would probably amount to tons, but that on the Soudan would occupy a very small space indeed on the library shelf, for the simple reason that so very few have travelled through it.
