Abstract

Excerpt from The Travels of Richard and John Lander, Into the Interior of Africa, for the Discovery of the Course and Termination of the Niger. Various accounts of theis river had been gradually col lected from different sources, which afforded grounds for fresh theories respecting its termination. That of Reichard was the favourite, he supposing that it assumed a south west course, and terminated in the gulph of Guinea. It was observed at the time, that there was neither evidence on which such an opinion could be supported, nor any by which it could be refuted. Discovery has proved him to be right in respect do its ultimate disposal; but at the same time, he participated in the general error regarding its course to Wangara. These difi'erent opinions appeared in several publications, in which, as might be expected, much error was mixed up with the general correctness. That the river ?owed into the sea at Fonda, was the principal and chief point that was gained; but the most extraordinary circumstance attending this discovery, was, that no one knew where Fonda was. The only exception to these was the theory of Major Denham, supported by Sultan Bello's ia formation, who continued its easterly course below Boosse.
