BAKER, ERNEST. Life and explorations of Frederick Stanley Arnot. il *$5 Dutton
“Mr Arnot died in May, 1914, at Johannesburg, having just completed his ‘Missionary travels in Central Africa.’ He first went to Africa, inspired by the story of Livingstone, in 1881, and during his seven years’ residence gained the friendship of the King of the Barotse and was held in much esteem by the natives. Altogether he made nine journeys to the centre of Africa, and his self-devotion and the vast distances he traversed give him a high place among travellers and among missionaries. His life story is worth telling and it is given almost entirely in extracts from his own letters and diaries.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup
“A valuable contribution to the literature of brotherhood and religious democracy.”
