[1895], gr. in-4 , demi-veau rouge à coins,dos à nerfs accidenté, [Rel. de l'époque], dos passé, titre et plat supérieur frottés,texte frais,sans rousseurs.. 2 ff.n.ch., x, 462 pp., 1 f.n.ch., portrait et 1 carte hors texte en couleurs. Numa Broc, Afrique, pp. 235-236. Édition originale, ornée d'un portrait de l'auteur en frontispice, 64 gravures dans le texte par Riou, certaines à pleine page, 15 cartes dans le texte et 1 carte repliée hors texte en couleurs. Préfacé par le vicomte Melchior de Vogüé, l'ouvrage relate le voyage du lieutenant-colonel Monteil à travers le Sénégal, le Mali, le Niger, le Nigéria et la Libye. L'objectif de cette mission était de reconnaître les pays situés entre le Niger et le Tchad, en particulier la ligne Say-Barroua, qui délimitait arbitrairement les zones d'influence française et anglaise. À partir de Saint-Louis du Sénégal, l'expédition Monteil passa par Kayes, Kita, Bamako et Ségou Sikoro, traversa la boucle du Niger jusquà Say, puis gagna le Lac Tchad par Sokoto et Kano, avant de se diriger vers Tripoli. Monteil est ainsi le premier Français à se rendre au lac Tchad, et le premier Européen à y parvenir par l'Atlantique. Les illustrations ont été réalisées d'après les documents de l'auteur et les photographies du commandant Quiquandon.

148 pages. Month by month over the years Jocelyn wrote a letter to his parishioners in which he tried to put into words the high drama of the Church's year. He found stories from years ago and parables of our own days to illustrate time-honoured truths. Taking the reader into his confidence, he imparts something of his enjoyment and wonder at making fresh discoveries of God's love in Christ, which he wants to share with us, his dear friends. Author was born in 1921 and passed away in 1996. Book
