Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. First American edition. 8vo. [5], vi-xx, [3], 24-608 pp. Wood-engraved frontispiece with 15 additional engraved plates, based on original sketches by the author; one fold-out map and a full-page map. Brown pebbled cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Concluding the title page: "Interspersed with many highly exciting adventures of the author, among elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippopatmi, rhinoceros, antelopes, and other great game of the country; accompanied by expert native sword hunters." Baker provides an account of Eastern Africa: its animals, its peoples, its rivers, its lakes, and its landscapes. He completed the European discovery of the source of the Nile, naming the Albert Nyanza, with help from Sir John Speke. His account of Eastern Africa would greatly influence the common person's attitudes and perceptions of the Nile basin and the peoples who lived there. The plates in the volume depict Baker's penchant for big game hunting. Throughout his life Baker would travel to Eastern Africa, India, and Central Asia to hunt the big game animals that lived in these regions. Other than hunting, Baker served as a governor of Egyptian territory in the Nile Basin, working to suppress the Arab slave trade and advance British interests in the region. This volume presents an important record in the history of colonization and the natural history of the Nile basin (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "Baker, Sir Samuel White"). A Very Good book with rubbing to the edges of the boards, two former owner's markings, front hinge slightly starting.

First edition, American issue (with the 1868 rather than the 1867 date), but made from the First Edition English sheets with the title page rendered for the American market and in this case, with an 1868 title-page slug. It seems apparent then that the first edition English sheets were being bound up for the American firm Lippincott over a period that spanned the two years, but prior to the "Second Edition" being issued in London in 1868. Illustrated with 24 black and white plates from original sketches by Sir S.W. Baker, and with two coloured maps, one full page and one folding in pocket at rear. 8vo, publisher s original green cloth, the spine lettered and decorated in gilt. [xxiiii], 596, including index. A very fine, handsome and very bright copy, especially so, the text is pristine, the hinges are perfect and the green cloth is exceptionally fresh with no fading whatsoever and only the most trivial evidence of shelving at the edges. SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE SEMINAL WORKS ON THE EXPLORATION OF THE NILE SOURCES, THIS COPY IS EXCEPTIONAL IN ITS FINE CONDITION. Baker, Burton, and Speke had by this time finally proved (or so they thought) that the source of the White Nile lay in the Lakes Albert and N'yanza. In this volume Baker traces his discovery of the sources of the lower Nile in the Atbara River and the Blue Nile in Abyssinia (present day Ethiopia and Somalia). "The value of the work of exploration during this fourteen months' journey and of the observations proving the Nile sediment to be due to the Abyssinian tributaries was publicly recognised by. [the] Royal Geographical Society. Baker had also during the period gained for himself experience as an explorer, mastered Arabic, and acquired the use of astronomical instruments." (DNB).Samuel Baker s discovery of the Albert Nyanza, the origin of the Nile, was fundamentally one of the most significant discoveries of the 19th century and certainly the most important of Baker s long and illustrious career. The first editions of Baker s works are becoming increasingly difficult to procure. This copy, so bright and clean and well preserved is highly unusual. The importance of the debate over the source of the Nile, combined with Baker's very readable writing style, made his books enormously popular, with the result that they were reprinted a great many times over the following years.
