Andersson (Charles John) LAKE NGAMI 8vo (255 x 165 mm) or Explorations and Discoveries, during four years` wanderings in the wilds of South Western Africa. First edition: 545 pages, tinted lithographic frontispiece, 15 tinted lithographic plates, numerous wood engravings in the text, large folding map, half maroon morocco, light red cloth sides, top edge gilt, marbled edges, light foxing on the plates, overall a very good copy. Mendelssohn (Sydney) South African Bibliography, volume 1, pages 41. `The narratives describe two expeditions, one in which the author was accompanied by Mr Francis Galton which extended to Nangoro`s Werft in the Ovampo country and the other when he travelled by himself to Lake Ngami. The courage and endurance of the explorers were remarkable, and their sufferings from the dearth of water were at times very terrible. Few, if any books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled. Galton sailed for England in early 1852 and Andersson commenced his journey to Lake Ngami in the early part of 1853, reaching the lake about the middle of the same year. He gives descriptive accounts of the ostrich, giraffe, rhinoceros and other animals and a full description of the native races.` This is Andersson`s major work and great care was taken over its publication. The tinted lithographs were executed by Joseph Wolfe and printed by Hanhart. Its success was somewhat overshadowed by Livingstone who had returned from Africa towards the end of 1856 and by the publication of his Missionary Travels the following year. It nevertheless ran to two impressions in 1856 and an American edition with wood engravings instead of the lithographs the following year.

Sir James Edward Alexander An expedition of discovery into the interior of Africa through the hitherto undescribed countries of the Great Namaquas, Boschemans and Hill Damaras 120 mm x 185 mm Sir James Alexander fully intended carrying out his intention of exploring part of Eastern Africa, but as he was forestalled by Dr. A. Smith he decided to pursue his investigations in the West. With this view he proceeded to Namaqualand and Damaraland, which countries were little known at this time. Leaving Cape Town in 1816, he traversed these regions in an ox waggon, and went through a large part of the country now known as German West Africa, arriving at Walvisch Bay almost exhausted with the difficulties of travel and want of water. He draws attention to the education of the natives by the missions, through the medium of the Dutch language, which he considers a mistake, and states that the Damaras have no religious belief. He had a good deal of hunting throughout his journey, and was successful in providing food for his large party. He succeeded in obtaining a good collection of zoological and other specimens, many of which were at that time unknown to the scientific world. The volume contains an account of the social conditions of the Namaquas, Boschmans, and Damaras, several illustrations, a map of the route of the author`s expedition, and the Appendix includes a note upon the Cape Colony.
