Il décrit la première de ses trois grandes expéditions dans lesquelles il suivit le Zambèze, découvrant les chutes Victoria, ainsi que les fleuves Shire et Ruyuma, allant de l’Angola à l’ouest au Mozambique à l’est… Au cours de ces années il a exploré de vastes régions d’Afrique centrale, dont beaucoup n’avaient jamais été vues auparavant par des hommes blancs. On trouve relié à la fin le catalogue des nouveautés de l'éditeur, daté du premier novembre 1857. Très bel exemplaire sans aucune rousseur. ‎
