“The brilliant narrative reads as vividly as ever.… We are glad to see his books revived in a form worthy of their intrinsic merit.”—Athenæum.

“Of all Burton’s books this account of his hazardous mission to Dahomey is one of the least known; it brings out, in a very marked manner, the writer’s unfailing tact and resource in dealing with savage peoples.”—Daily Graphic.
“Carefully edited and excellently got up.”—Glasgow Herald.
“The style is more colloquial than that of the ‘Pilgrimage to Mecca,’ but it is none the less readable and attractive. The effect produced by the book is that of a clever man talking over his adventures after dinner, or in a club smoking-room.”—Manchester Guardian.
