As Scott writes in his Introduction, "To write down all the habits and customs that prevail in Africa would need the whole of the space in this book, and this is merely the introduction to it; but it is to be hoped that what has been said of the tribes of Central Africa may help the reader to more fully understand the troubles and trials which Stanley had to undergo, and the difficulties and dangers which he had to pass through during his last journey across Africa.
