Excerpt from Putnam's Monthly Magazine of American Literature, Science, and Art, 1857, Vol. 8Few months ago there appeared. In the city of Berlin, 11 man of so very remarkable appearance, that even the witty and blasé citizens of that capital mold not preserve their sneer ingindi¿'erence. And tho usation ¿ew than mouth to mouth Vho is this stranger. All worn and weather-beaten, all heard and long hair? It was Dr. Henry Barth - tho last of a memorable line of brave men that had ventured boldly. One after another, into the Great Sahara. Upon the mighty rivers, and up the side-1 ut' the far-famed mountains of Africa. There to su¿'er, or even to die, martyrs in a cause that rewards not in chorus and in laurels. One by one, tht y had nobly fought their way into the heart of a land cursed with utter darkness among men, as it is bli hted by the incessant glow of a tropica? Sun.

That sent a tender fart-w1 ll tn the beloved ones at home, and then was silent forever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
