GALTON, Francis. - The art of travel; or shifts and contrivances available in wild countries.
London, John Murray, 1867( 4th, enl.ed). Small 8vo. vii, 360 pp. Cloth. (binding damaged.; flyleaves loose; frontisp. and first pp. loosening; sl. loose in binding) English explorer, anthropologist, and eugenicist known for his pioneering studies of human intelligence. expeditions in 1845–46 up the Nile River with friends and into the Holy Land alone were preliminaries to a carefully organized penetration into unexplored parts of southwestern Africa. After consulting the Royal Geographical Society, Galton decided to investigate a possible opening from the south and west to Lake Ngami, which lies north of the Kalahari desert some 550 miles east of Walvis Bay. The expedition, which included two journeys, one northward, the other eastward, from the same base, proved to be difficult and not without danger. Though the explorers did not reach Lake Ngami, they gained valuable information.
