In Darkest Africa or The Quest, Rescue and Retreat of Emin Governor of Equatoria
By Henry M. Stanley
Published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington: London 1890 (Colonial Edition)

" Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841 - 1904) was a Welsh-American explorer, journalist, soldier, colonial administrator, author and politician who was famous for his exploration of Central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Besides his discovery of Livingstone, he is mainly known for his search for the sources of the Nile and Congo rivers, the work he undertook as an agent of King Leopold II of the Belgians which enabled the occupation of the Congo Basin region, and his command of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. He was knighted in 1897, and served in Parliament as a Liberal Unionist member for Lambeth North from 1895 to 1900. "
