Show moreIn this book, Burton states his aim is to provide an insight into the characters and thought-modes of mankind. He attempts to redress the prevalent attitude that there is little culture in Africa of his time. The work consists of proverbs translated from seven languages and grouped accordingly. These are largely single sentences or two lines, and the original saying is provided alongside the English translation. On occasion, Burton provides a number of explanatory notes but largely leaves each proverb without adornment. Towards the end of the volume, there are some longer tales and sayings, and these are accompanied by a simultaneous translation. The work ends with a description of the significance of single words from a miscellany of languages, with the context of their use described. compiled by Richard F. Burton ...

"Nature notes" includes lists of birds and plants collected. The book is Angus Buchanans account of the conquest of German East Africa during the First World War 1914-1918. Buchanan was a Captain who marched a unit over 850 miles, covering territories around Kilimanjaro, Lake Victoria, the Belgian Congo, and the Lindi area. The book is an account of Buchanans experiences of the campaign, which was conducted in conditions of extreme heat and drought, and through inhospitable territories of high grass and jungle with only bare rations of flour and water. Buchanan describes the threats that his unit encountered, including animals, enemies, illness, and the effects of being wounded. Taking the form of diary entries, Buchanans account provides an insight into the daily lives of troops stationed at various points along the frontier. The book closes with a chapter of nature observations, which describes the flora, and fauna of a virtually unexplored world Main Heritage Shelves General D576.G3 B83 1919 Book Item-ID: i20449999 BIB-ID: 1830496 Show less
