OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

'It is never dull, and leaves behind when finished a desire for more. The illustrations of all kinds are admirable, for they are really illustrative......The result is a book done as books should be, and Mr. James owed no apology to the public for the time occupied in performing the work so well.'-SPECTATOR,

'Mr. James's book is written in a lucid, graphic style......It will prove interesting, however, not only to the African student, but to that shallow, restless book-skimmer the "general reader." The public owe Mr. James and his companions a distinct debt of gratitude.'-SATURDAY REVIEW.

'A valuable addition to the work of scientific research and to the library of African travel.'-SCOTSMAN.

'May fairly lay claim to a place among the most remarkable explorations of modern times.'-MANCHESTER COURIER.

The book should take rank with Schweinfurth's "Heart of Africa." It will show how great a man, in many ways, we have in Emin Pasha.'-TIMES.

We therefore welcome this collection of his "Letters and Journals," and trust it will be as widely read as it deserves to be.'-ATHENEUM.
