Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. First Edition. Octavo, pp. Lxxxi, 410. Twelve illustrations in the text, 1 large fold-out map, appendix. Bound in modern half-leather with green marbled paper covered boards. Gold spine titles to leather spine. Binding is bright with minor wear. Some offsetting in the text. Large folding map has… a 4 inch tear repaired with tape. Captian Tuckey was sent to explore the Congo River, on a ship named Congo, in 1816. At the time, very little was known about the Congo and some European geographers believed there was a connection between the Congo and the Niger. Tuckey did not get very far. He sailed up the Congo from its mouth on the Atlantic, but soon realized the lower river is not navigable due to cataracts (later named the Yellala Falls). Tuckey explored the river up to Isangila finding ruins of the Portuguese colony and Catholic missions. Tuckey and most of his officers and crew died of fever. What success they had was mostly negative - the lower Congo was definitely not navigable, and the fever and sickness threat was formidable. The survivors did bring back a substantial number of botany specimens. Both Tuckey and Professor Chetien Smith (mission botanist) wrote journals during their explorations. This book contains both journals and a lengthy introduction about the mission. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 410 pages.

SCARCE FIRST EDITION. An attempt to explore the Congo River and to find a link with the Niger and investigate the possibilities for trade on these arteries. Smith from Kew Gardens and other botanists were along to collect plant seeds. Tuckey died on the support ship. "Tuckey was one of the most observant of travelers. He had served in the Eastern Seas, and made a voyage to Brazil and Port Philip in 1803. Captured on his return voyage, he like Flinders, was detained as a prisoner by the French for several years. He subsequently compiled a valuable work on 'Maritime Geography' before setting on the government expedition to explore the Congo, then by many conjectured to be the outlet of the Niger. The results of this expedition were most disastrous, Captain Tuckey and many others dying within three months after entering the river". "An introductory view of African discovery preceeds the narrative of Tuckey and Smith and a series of appendices follow: these include (1) a vocabulary of the Malemba and Embonma languages by Cat. Tuckey. (2) Observations on the Genus Ocythioe of Rafinesque by Dr. Leach. (3) On Sepia and Vermes Testacea with plates. (4) Observations on Prof. Smith's collection of plants by Robert Brown, etc.".

Fine Binding. Condición: Very Good Indeed. First edition. John Kirk's copy of the first edition of this important travel work regarding Tuckey's expedition along the River Congo. This account of the journey is decorated by a folding map frontispiece of the coast from Cape Lopez, and thirteen plates, with one hand-coloured. With…John Kirk's inscription to the title page 'John Kirk, Zambesi Exped 1858'. Kirk brought this book with him on the expedition to explore the Zambesi river's mouths and tributaries in order to navigate the waterway to the interior. In addition to this, Livingstone was continuing his mission to introduce the people of Africa to Christianity and freeing them from slavery. This was Livingstone's second Zambesi expedition. It was here Kirk went as a botanist and chief assistant. The expedition was difficult, and many expedition members including Kirk noted that Livingstone was an inept leader. In 1862 Kirk wrote that Livingstone was an unsafe leader and 'out of his mind'. These criticisms of Livingstone were given weight by Livingstone's disappearance on his next expedition, later being famously 'found' by Stanley. Livingstone's expedition became the first to reach Lake Malawi which they explored in a four-oared gig. By 1864 the journey was halted due to the increasing cost and the failure to find a navigable route. Part of their difficulties came with navigating the Ruvuma River due to the number of bodies thrown into the river by slave traders. Many newspapers branded the expedition a failure, despite the valuable collections of botanical, ecological and ethnographic material collected over this time. John Kirk was also a key player in ending the slave trade in Zanzibar during his time as a British administrator there. He remained in Zanzibar when Livingstone set about his final expedition to find the source of the Nile. It was here he was appointed to the British Consul and was physician to Henry Adrian Churchill, an advocate for the abolition of the slave trade. Churchill had to leave for England due to his health and Kirk continued his work. In addition to this, following Livingstone's death, Kirk pledged to continue Livingstone's mission to end the East African slave trade. An important work on African exploration with this copy having a wonderful history of its own. Collated, complete. In a very smart contemporary tree calf binding. This narrative follows James Hingston/Kingston Tuckey on his journey to explore the River Congo in the first stem-powered warship built for the Royal Navy, the HMS Congo. He was also accompanied by the ship 'Dorothy' for the journey. Tuckey's mission was to see if there was a connection between the Congo and the Niger basins. Many of the officers and crew, including Tuckey himself, died of fever during this expedition. Despite the failure of the mission, this account of the journey inspired more Europeans and piqued interest in travelling Africa. Joseph Conrad found inspiration in this ill-fated mission for his novella 'Heart of Darkness'. This work forms of officer's reports, Tuckey's own journals and other first-hand accounts to paint a picture of the expedition. The journal of Christen Smith, the naturalist of this journey, is printed to the rear of this work, which provides 'some general observations on the country and its inhabitants'. There is also an appendix regarding the natural history of the Congo and the botanic material gathered on the expedition. Tuckey ensured that Smith's diary and plant specimens were shipped to London before he succumbed to the deadly fever himself. A smart copy of this important work, with an association that is extremely important in the context of African Travel and discovery in the nineteenth century. In a full tree-calf binding. Rebacked with the original boards preserved, and a nineteenth century spine laid on in period. Externally, smart with just a few marks to boards and a few light patches of rubbing to the joints. Several closed tears to the centre of title page, neatly from a blade. Contemporary inscription to the title page 'John Kirk Zambesi Exped 1858'. John Kirk's signature is also lightly written to the bottom of the rear endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Light tidemarks to the bottom margin of pages. Affecting the margin only, no text. Offsetting to the map as is usual. Text leaves have just the odd spot, with the plates rather spotted as is usual. The coloured plate is very clean. Very Good Indeed. None (ilustrador). book.
