THE NILE TRIBUTARIES OF ABYSSINIA, and the Sword-Hunters of the Hamran
Arabs. By _Sir Samuel W. Baker_, M.A., F.R.C.S. With Portraits, Maps, and
Illustrations. Third Edition, 8vo. 21_s_.

_Sir Samuel Baker here describes twelve months' exploration, during which
he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia,
including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and
the Blue Nile. The interest attached to these portions of Africa differs
entirely from that of the White Nile regions, as the whole of Upper Egypt
and Abyssinia is capable of development, and is inhabited by races having
some degree of civilization; while Central Africa is peopled by a race of
savages, whose future is more problematical_.

THE ALBERT N'YANZA Great Basin of the Nile, and Exploration of the Nile
Sources. New and cheaper Edition, with Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations.
Two vols. crown 8vo. 16_s_.

"_Bruce won the source of the Blue Nile; Speke and Grant won the Victoria
source of the great White Nile; and I have been permitted to succeed in
completing the Nile Sources by the discovery of the great reservoir of the
equatorial waters, the Albert N'yanza, from which the river issues as the
entire White Nile_."--_Preface_.
