Subtitle reads: An authentic narrative of travels and discoveries, the manners and customs of the Native tribes, and the physical nature of the country. Edited with an introduction and notes by William F. Lye. With contemporary illustrations by Charles Davidson Bell. 4to; original brown cloth, lettered in gilt on spine, with gilt publisher's device to upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; pp. xii + 323, incl. index; full-colour plates; map; monochrome illustrations in text. Dustwrapper very slightly spotted and rubbed; earlier owner's bookplate to front free endpaper; some browning and small trace of tipped-in clipping to rear endpaper. Very good condition. 'This is a record of one of the most significant accounts of African exploration to have been written in the nineteenth century: it is not only of great potential value to researchers in the fields of the natural sciences, ethnography and history, but is packed with the kind of detail that is sought by Africana collectors and by non-specialist readers who are hungry for the factual story of our past. Smith was trained as a doctor; after some experience in overseas assignments, the British Army sent him to South Africa in 1821, posted to a regiment on the eastern frontier. He remained in South Africa until 1837, performing a variety of medical and scientific assignments, mostly work of a pioneering character - including an appointment as the first Superintendent of the newly-established South African Museum. . By 1832 the South African Literary and Scientific Institution had begun seriously to plan and develop the idea of a properly-organised expedition, which culminated in the establishment of the Expedition to Central Africa, under the directorship of Smith. . Supported by a party of some 40 members, of whom six were Europeans, Smith set forth from Graaff-Reinet in August 1834: and returned in January 1836. The reaction of the then Governor was that "Dr Smith fulfilled this trust with great judgement and ability . " '.
