Roma, Società Geografica Italiana, 1913, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 291/298 con un'incisione (ritratto) . - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
xxii, 638, 6 (ads) pages. Fold-out map. Occasional black and white illustrations. "It has been my object in this work to give as clear an account as I was able of tracts of country previously unexplored, with their river systems, natural productions, and capabilities; and to bring before my countrymen, and all others interested in the cause of humanity, the misery entailed by the slave-trade in its inland phases - a subject on which I and my companions are the first who have had any opportunities of forming a judgement." - from Preface. "There must be something in the appearance of white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated natives of Africa; for, on entering villages previously unvisited by Europeans, if we met a child... he would take to his heels in an agony of terror, such as we might feel if we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Museum." - from page 199. Fold-out map measures 24" wide by 17" high and is entitled "The River Shire, The Lakes Nyassa & Shirwa, The Lower Courses of the Rivers Zambesi & Rovuma" - based on the Astronomical observations and sketches of Dr. Livingstone, Constructed by John Arrowsmith, 1865.

Volume in 8º grande, legato in mezza pelle, titolo inciso al dorso ornato in oro, sguardie, occhiello, antiporta con grande tavola incisa e ripiegata (magnifica rappresentazione delle cascate Victoria dello Zambese), dedicatoria e seconda antiporta con ritratto dell'autore (slegato), frontespizio, introduzione 688 pp., ulteriori 23 tavole f.t. e disegni n.t., 1 tavola ripiegata con una sezione ideale del territorio, e 2 grandi carte ripiegate, una dell'Africa Australe e l'altra dell'itinerario dettagliato, seguito dal Dr. Livingstone (quest'ultima staccata dal volume, ad entrambe una lacerazione senza perdita). Magnifico volume sulle esplorazioni di Livingstone, forse il più noto dei viaggiatori dell'ultima metà del XIX secolo, in cui può essere gustata l'atmosfera incantata che questi avventurosi (a volte anche avventurieri) incontravano nei loro lunghi viaggi in terre sconosciute ed inesplorate, riportando notizie e dati di grande interesse ed utilità per la scienza e la conoscenza. Rara terza edizione. In ottimo stato, tranne che per i difetti citati (il ritratto e la carta slegati) insignificanti mende d'uso e lievi fioriture della carta. Di indubbia scarsa reperibilità, affascinante.
In 16°, br. edit. ill., 2 voll. pp. 128; 127. Ill. xilografica all'antip. di ogni vol. (ritratto del Livingstone e scena con ippopotami). Non comune.
