First Footsteps In East Africa, By Richard Burton (preface) 10 On the 14th October 1841, Major sir William Cornwallis Harris (then captain inthe Bombay sir. burtonS Route to HARAR from a Sketch by the late Lieut. http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/b/b97f/preface.html
Extractions: Averse to writing, as well as to reading, diffuse Prolegomena, the author finds himself compelled to relate, at some length, the circumstances which led to the subject of these pages. In May 1849, the late Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, formerly Superintendent of the Indian Navy, in conjunction with Mr. William John Hamilton, then President of the Royal Geographical Society of Great Britain, solicited the permission of the Court of Directors of the Honorable East India Company to ascertain the productive resources of the unknown Somali Country in East Africa. The project lay dormant until March 1850, when Sir Charles Malcolm and Captain Smyth, President of the Royal Geographical Society of Great Britain, waited upon the chairman of the Court of Directors of the Honorable East India Company. He informed them that if they would draw up a statement of what was required, and specify how it could be carried into effect, the document should be forwarded to the Governor-General of India, with a recommendation that, should no objection arise, either from expense or other causes, a fit person should be permitted to explore the Somali Country. In May, 1851, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm died: geographers and travellers lost in him an influential and an energetic friend. During the ten years of his superintendence over the Indian Navy that service rose, despite the incubus of profound peace, to the highest distinction. He freely permitted the officers under his command to undertake the task of geographical discovery, retaining their rank, pay, and batta, whilst the actual expenses of their journeys were defrayed by contingent bills. All papers and reports submitted to the local government were favourably received, and the successful traveller looked forward to distinction and advancement.

Extractions: Mirror Magazine In this new three-part series Richard Boyle goes back in time evoking our childhood memories of the world of Sindbad the Sailor M ention Sindbad the Sailor to most peo ple and you will find that, in their minds, images are conjured up from storybooks and films of a swashbuckling hero who undergoes fantastic adventures in strange Oriental lands. As far as I am concerned, the name evokes childhood memories of stirring scenes from Richard Wallace's rather camp 1947 Hollywood movie, simply titled Sinbad the Sailor . (The correct spelling of the name is "Sindbad", the form I have adopted except in titles and references where it is rendered without the vital "d".) The star-studded cast of Sinbad the Sailor comprises Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as the hero, Maureen O'Hara as the romantic distraction, and Anthony Quinn, inevitably, as the villain. The story bears little resemblance to the original adventures called The Seven Wonderful Voyages of Sindbad contained in the Arabian Nights. It concerns the quest for the treasure of Alexander the Great. Sindbad is compelled to team up with the dastardly villain - with predictable and tiresome results - because each possesses half of the clues as to the whereabouts of the treasure.

Extractions: The son of a colonel, Burton was born in Torquay and had an irregular education - in France and Italy and at Oxford, from which he was expelled. From 1842, he served for seven years in the Indian Army, first in Sind (now in south-east Pakistan) under Sir Charles Napier. In 1853, he made a pilgrimage to Mecca, disguised in Afghani dress, becoming one of the first Europeans to visit the holy Muslim city. He later also 'discovered' the sacred city of Harar in Ethiopia and, in 1855, led a foray into Somalia, accompanied by Speke. Just before he left England for his search for the source of the Nile, he became engaged to Isabel Arundell, who as his wife would be his greatest defender. At the age of 36, at the time of the expedition with Speke, Burton was one of the great minds and most remarkable personalities of the Victorian era - an author, explorer, scientist and poet. A brilliant linguist, he mastered over 30 languages, including Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hindi and Swahili. He wrote 43 books, translated the Arabian Nights, The Perfumed Garden

Extractions: Born in 1483 in Muslim Granada. In 1518, the young Hasan ibn Muhammad al Wazzan al-Fasi was captured from an Arab galley by Christian corsairs (at the time, piracy was endemic in the Mediterranean). Because he had travelled widely, despite being only in his thirties, he was spared slavery and taken instead for an audience with Pope Leo X, who had acquired a commendable reputation for welcoming fresh intellectual talent into his Renaissance court (though he was later to excommunicate Luther). Leo X baptised the young Moor as Giovanni Leone, who was then given the freedom to complete his astonishing History and Description of Africa and Notable Things therein contained , published in Italian in 1526. It is still considered to be one of the most competent and indeed enduringly fascinating works on the continent's history. Until the arrival of the French in 1912, Moroccan Jews were obliged to remove their shoes in Moorish quarters, and when passing mosques or the houses of sharifs. They were expected to yield right of way to Muslims in the street, and were forbidden to wear fine clothes or to ride horses. In addition, Jews had to pay the jizya mellah is Arabic for salt, and was used to describe the Jewish quarters because they were given the task of salting the severed heads of criminals before they were put on public display.
