Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The founding of the African Association in 1788 was arguably the starting point of the European race to explore Africa. The organisation lay behind many of the most famous expeditions to Africa at the end of the eighteenth century, including those of Mungo Park, Friedrich Hornemann and John Lewis Burckhardt. This volume, published in 1802, includes fascinating details of their expeditions. We read of the failure of earlier projects, and Sir Joseph Banks' recommendation of Hornemann to the Association, stating that 'his youth, his prudence . and lively zeal' would make him a fine 'acquisition'. Of Mungo Park, the Association heard that he was 'a young man of no mean talents'. Alongside the insights into the preparations for the expeditions, the volume includes letters and detailed accounts from both Park and Hornemann, and meticulous contemporary maps, providing a unique picture of the earliest days of exploration in Africa.…

Macrae,  Founded in 1788, the Association had as its object "promoting the discovery of the inland districts of Africa", and its activities mark the beginnings of the systematic exploration of the continent. It also hoped to foster British trade, political prestige and influence. It was later to merge with the newly formed Royal Geographical Society.   The first concern of the African Association was to locate the source and direction of flow of the River Niger, with expeditions originating on the North African coast. The first four expeditions were unfortunate due to the fact that their leaders, Ledyard, Lucas, Hornemann and Houghton, all either died en route or were murdered. However the fifth, led by Mungo Park, proved a great geographical success. This early compilation includes communications from both Ledyard and Lucas, and their geographical findings are elucidated by Rennell in a memoir as well as in his map.…
