A facsimile of the 1868 first edition with a new introduction by Dr. Malcolm Coe. This edition was limited to 750 copies, the first twenty of which were half-bound in morocco. The first edition is very scarce". In 1867, Royal Navy lieutenant E.D. Young trekked to Africa to find the great missionary-explorer David Livingstone who was reported to be lost while searching for the origins of the Nile. Henry Faulkner joined the expedition primarily to hunt. His efforts collecting elephant, buffalo and hippo in present day Malawi and around Lake Nyasa are duly captured in this rather scarce narrative". (Czech).
