Book Description
Excerpt from A Thousand Miles in the Heart of Africa: A Record of a Visit to the Mission-Field of the Boer Church in Central Africa Every Sir John Mandeville who undertakes a tour to the uncivilised regions of the globe is from time immemorial expected to recount his experiences for the benefit of the less fortunate stay-at-homes. To remonstrate against the unreasonableness of this exaction were a useless task, and therefore I yield with what grace I can to the kindly importunity of personal friends and a generous public, and publish, not without considerable diffidence, a selection from letters and journals written by myself in the heart of Africa. Those who look in these pages for tales à la Mandeville of "the Anthropophagi, and men whose heads Do grow beneath their shoulder," will, I give them fair warning, look in vain. But those who are not unwilling to learn what the Boers are doing for missions, and those who are always ready to be instructed and amused by the manners and customs of strange communities, will, I think, find these chapters not wholly uninteresting.
