The present volume will be acceptable at once to the friends of Missions, to those interested in geographical discoveries, and to the lovers of adventure. Few Missionaries have undergone greater sufferings and been exposed to greater perils than those first fully disclosed in this work as having been voluntarily fronted by Dr Krapf. The value of his geographical discoveries it is scarcely possible to over-estimate. The land journeys of Dr. Krapf in Eastern Africa extended to upwards of nine thousand miles, and were made mostly on foot—for the luxury of oxen, enjoyed by Dr. Livingstone, was beyond the reach of the German missionary in his travels from the coast into the interior.
