Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels Between the Years 1765 and 1773 Through Part of Africa, Syria, Egypt, and Arabia Into Abyssinia to Discover the Source of the Nile: Comprehending an Interesting Narrative of the Author´s Adventures in Abyssinia Among all the expeditions undertaken by modern adventures, either for the extension of knowledge, the promotion of commerce, or the gratification of private curiosity, none ever excited more general interest than that of Mr. Bruce. Urged by an irresistible impulse, by a laudable ambition to accomplish a design which had for ages baffled the efforts of mankind, he pursued with unshaken perseverance the end which he had proposed; and his success was equal to his most sanguine expectations. Though the discovery of the source of the far-famed Nile had ever been a favorite object with men distinguished for science, talents, and enterprize, yet the fountains, which gave birth to its fertilizing current, were destined to remain enveloped in profound obscurity, till the daring genius of Bruce explored, and laid them open to the rest of the world.
