To The Gold Coast for Gold - A Personal Narrative. Vol. II

by Sir Richard Francis Burton


To The Gold Coast for Gold: A Personal Narrative. Vol. II is a personal narrative written by Sir Richard Francis Burton and Verney Lovett Cameron. 

Author's Preface:

The sad grey life of England, the reflection of her climate, has ever welcomed a novelty, a fresh excitement. Society has in turn lionised the marmiton, or assistant-cook, self-styled an 'Emir of the Lebanon;' the Indian 'rajah,' at home a munshi, or language-master; and the 'African princess,' a slave-girl picked up in the bush. It is the same hunger for sensation which makes the mob stare at the Giant and the Savage, the Fat Lady, the Living Skeleton, and the Spotted Boy.
