1866104413London: Saunders Otley and Co. 1866. First edition uncommon just 9 locations on Library Hub. Account of the society's disastrous first missionary expedition which took them into Nyasaland now Malawi. Founded in 1860 by a coalition of groups in Oxford Cambridge Durham and Dublin Universities the Universities' Mission to Central Africa was inspired by the lectures that David Livingstone gave on his visit to England in 1857 and was established with two main aims: to establish a missionary presence in Central Africa and to offer active opposition to the slave trade. It was the first mission society operated by the high church faction of the Anglican Church and was unique among Anglican missions in that primary authority rested not with a committee based in Britain but with a bishop in the field for which purpose Charles Mackenzie was consecrated bishop of central Africa in Cape Town Cathedral in January 1861. The missionary party set off up the Zambezi into Shire where their choice of Magomero as their base was fatally flawed placing them in the middle of a region ridden with disease and deeply troubled by intertribal conflicts. Bishop Mackenzie died there of Blackwater Fever on 31 January 1862 along with three other members of the tiny missionary party and many local people. Early conversion efforts from this base yielded little result and supplies ran out or were destroyed during a period of famine. Under its new bishop W.G. Tozer the mission subsequently withdrew from the area abandoning the graves of the missionaries who had died there and establishing a new headquarters in Zanzibar. Octavo. Frontispiece and 7 other plates 2 full-page maps numerous illustrations to the text. Original green sand-grain cloth title gilt to the spine blind panels to the boards publisher's device gilt to the centre of the front board. A little rubbed and a touch dusty front hinges just starting front pastedown slightly marked by the removal of a bookplate light browning and some foxing front back and to the fore-edge a very good copy. hardcover

No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with a few engravings and a double-page "Map of Central Africa Showing H.M. Stanley's Route and Discoveries." This is the true story of Henry Stanley's expedition to rescue Mehmed Emin Pasha 1840-92. Pasha whose birth name was Eduard Schnitzer was a physician and German explorer who served as a medical officer under Gen. Charles Gordon in the Sudan from 1876-78. Pasha succeeded Gordon in 1878 as governor of Equatoria at that time a province of Egyptian Sudan. As a result of the Mahdist revolt of 1882 Pasha was cut off from the outside world. Stanley's last expedition was organized to rescue him. In April 1889 some 1500 people set out from Lake Albert for the east coast. Along the way they found the Ruwenzori Range. They also succeeded in proving that Lakes Edward and Albert were linked by the Semliki River a fact that cleared up one of the last mysteries concerning sources of the Nile. Arriving in December of that year Stanley and his expedition safely escorted Pasha to Mombasa. But only two years after this book was published Pasha was murdered while exploring in the region of Lake Tanganyika. Bound in the original red cloth. First American Edition. Hardcover.
