"The notes and descriptions of a man of uncommon nerve and daring. They trace the course of a traveller who, forsaking all beaten tracks, plunged into the wilds of a country where no white man appears to have preceded him, and who brings before us tribes marked by hideous moral degradation, and yet of not unhopeful prospects; while as a hunter, sportsman, and naturalist, he has tales to tell which make the ears of all who hear to tingle."-London Review. "Strikingly attractive and wonderful as are his descriptions, they all carry in themselves an impress of substantial truthfulness."-Sir Roderick Murchison. "In this large volume we have not found one page which we were inclined to skip. We can not too strongly express our admiration of the undaunted pluck and resolution which carried him to the point actually accomplished. He performed the whole distance, eight thousand miles, on foot, and the amount of fever he went through may be judged of by the fact that he consumed in four years fourteen ounces of quinine."-London Spectator. "Its literary merits are considerable, for it is clear, lively, and judiciously pruned of unimportant details. His explorations were in no degree exempt from the hardships and dangers which are the condition of African travel. He sojourned among cannibals, panthers, crocodiles, and snakes-underwent fifty attacks of the fever-walked several hundred miles on foot, and was constantly in a condition so nearly bordering on starvation that he was sometimes, for days together, without any other food than roots and berries. "-London Saturday Review. "We must go back to the voyages of La Perouse and Captain Cook, and almost to the days of wonder which followed the track of Columbus, for novelties of equal significance to the age of their discovery. Du Chaillu struck into the very spine of Africa, and lifted the veil of the torrid zone from its western rivers, swamps, and forests. He found therein a variety of new types of living creatures, and others which were only partially and imperfectly known. He sojourned among tribes or races who feed on their kind, and he encountered the animal more formidable than any yet heard of."-London Times. "He has contrived to render his name forever memorable in the annals of geographical discovery. He traveled on foot, unattended by any other white man, eight thousand miles, secured two thousand birds, and killed upward of two thousand quadrupeds."-London Morning Post.
