The late Mr. W. H. G. Kingston abridged into a

volume of some hundred and fifty pages the Trarels of Mungo Park, Denham, and Clapperton, and this has been republished by Messrs. Roatledge and Sons. It is well that these pioneers of the great explorations which have now revealed almost every secret of the "African Mystery," should not be forgotten, and a volume which gives them in so handy and accessible a form is welcome.
