Brush M.D. U.S. Navy who served as a surgeon & medical inspector from 1861-1894. Winwood Reade's introduction notes that ".out of a host of men who have attempted to penetrate Africa from north to south only two have achieved success. The first and foremost of these is Sir Samuel Baker; the second is Dr. G.A. Schweinfurth . who submitted to the Royal Academy of Science a plan for the botanical exploration of the equatorial districts lying west of the Nile . During three years he was absent in the heart of Africa and even before he had returned his name had already become famous in Europe and America. "Travelling not in the footsteps of Baker but in a westerly direction he reached the neighbourhood of Baker's lake passing through the country of the Niam-Niam and visiting the unknown kingdom of Monbuttoo . a scientific botanist and also an accomplished draughtsman . In a geographical sense this work is of importance as a contribution to the problem of the Nile; and ethnologically it sets at rest a point which has long been under dispute viz. the existence of a dwarf race in Central Africa."
