Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

William Fitzwilliam Owen (1774-1857) was a British naval officer.
Between 1821 and 1826 he commanded an expedition to Africa, Arabia
and Madagascar with the Royal Navy ships Leven and Barracouta,
during which he mapped some 30,000 miles of coastline. His memoirs
of the voyage are presented in this two-volume account, first
published in 1833. Volume 2 continues to describe the rituals of
the native peoples whom Owen's crew encountered - and who were at
times hostile - and the tragic deaths on board the ships from
tropical diseases, which with better planning might have been
avoided. The volume also covers the lives of colonists and
missionaries, the slave trade, and the spread of European influence
across Africa and its neighbouring lands. Providing a vivid account
of African exploration in the nineteenth century, Owen's writings
remain of great interest to geographers, historians and
anthropologists.

during which he mapped some 30,000 miles of coastline. His memoirs
of the voyage are presented in this two-volume account, first
published in 1833. Volume 1 begins by presenting Owen's
instructions from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the
Hydrographical Office, on which the editor comments that Owen was
not given the power to take account of seasonal climate changes.
Through Owen's recollections we learn that this proved fatal, as
many of his crew succumbed to tropical diseases. Providing a vivid
account of African exploration in the nineteenth century, Owen also
documents his encounters with native peoples and wildlife. His
writings remain of great interest to geographers, historians and
anthropologists.
