Fancher On Galtons African Ethnography Narrative of an explorer in Tropical South Africa (Second edition) Murray , London . captain sir richard francis burton Scribner, New York . http://www.mugu.com/galton/reviews/FancherGaltonEthnography.htm
Extractions: http://galton.org Raymond Fancher has been engaged for many decades now on a major new life of Francis Galton (1822-1911), written from what he describes as a psychobiographical perspective. This lengthy enterprise, unfinished so-far, has produced numerous papers along the way, and it is possible to piece together from these the chief intent of the author: to situate Galtons hereditarianism in his personal psychology. The idea is not without interest, though the results seem less than convincing to date. Fanchers work will be reviewed in detail on galton.org by following these major papers, beginning with his description of the influence that Galtons travels in South-West Africa had on his study of human variation. Galton embarked on his scientific career by exploring previously uncharted areas of South-West Africa in the early 1850s, under the aegis of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS). Fancher correctly notes that this trip had an important influence on Galtons thinking about human diversity. Galton himself remarked several times on the powerful and lasting effect that this trip had on his later work: it seems to have been his own Voyage of the Beagle , providing the germs for theories that only reached maturity decades later.

Extractions: Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: explorer, adventurer, scholar, mystic, stud. As an officer in the Honourable East India Company, Burton traveled extensively throughout the world in the capacity of a secret agent. He traveled incognito, disguised as a wanderer, throughout the Near East and Africa. As a master linguist and as an expert practitioner of various world religions, he was able to become the first Westerner to enter the forbidden African city of Harar. He traveled to the holy cities of Medina and Mecca as a Muslim. He introduced the words pajamas and safari to the English language. He wrote numerous books detailing his travels. He discovered and translated the Kama Sutra and The Perfumed Gardens, and translated the Arabian Nights. He was the co-discoverer of Lake Tanganyika in Africa, and laid the groundwork for Speke and Grant's discovery of the source of the Nile, Lake Victoria. Born in Torquay, Devonshire, England in 1821, Burton became an Oxford man. But do not be mislead! Here was no effete, fey, whiny, pencil-necked, wimpy, 90-pound, pansy, classical-music listening, "fag-" smoking poetry-reading, badminton-playing, crochet-knitting, girlie-voiced Englishman of the typical ilk, nowadays embodied by wimpy actor Hugh Grant. No, he was a man's man! Described as tall, dark, romantic-looking and with "gypsy eyes," Burton was a strapping, robust man, whose physical strength would serve him well throughout his years of adventuring.
Relocating Burton: Public And Private Writings On Africa In recent critical and popular works, the explorer richard burton has primarily been captain sir richard francis burton. New York Scribners, 1990. http://www.unc.edu/~ottotwo/burton.html
Extractions: Public and Private Writings on Africa By Greg Garrett The Journal of African Travel-Writing Number 2 , March 1997 (pp. 70-79). I n recent critical and popular works, the explorer Richard Burton has primarily been described either as an advocate (whether consciously or unconsciously) of British imperialism or, conversely, as a sensitive observer of African culture worthy of contemporary canonization. The actual truth about this remarkably complex Victorian lies somewhere apart from both these extremes. In Burton's popular narratives of his explorations in Africa, among them First Footsteps in East Africa, The Lake Regions of Central Africa , and Wanderings in West Africa , Burton often reflects the attitudes and beliefs of his reading audience. But in comparison with the African travel narratives of many of his contemporaries, particularly his traveling companion and one-time friend John Hanning Speke, Burton also reveals a sympathy for the cultures he encounters and a willingness to record the details of their existence even when they have little or no bearing on the goals of his expeditions. In Speke's public writing, African natives are simply an obstacle in the way of his aims; in Burton's, they seem to represent both a potential challenge and a source of potential knowledge. The latter sets him apart from most of his contemporaries and explains Burton's problematic status as a Victorian explorer and writer. But perhaps most important, Burton's personal ambition and his position as an outsider in British culture ensure that he displays a wide range of attitudes toward Africa, depending on the circumstances of composition and whether his anticipated audience was popular or private.

Extractions: Sir Richard Francis Burton, an intrepid English explorer of inner Africa in the mid-19th century, discovered the great Central African lakes. Born on Mar. 19, 1821, he was brought up in France and Italy. He studied for a time at Oxford University and then purchased a commission in the Bombay Native Infantry. From 1843 to 1848 he soldiered in Sind in northwestern India (now Pakistan). Between 1853 and 1855, Burton visited the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina in disguise and made a dangerous foray to the forbidden city of Harar in eastern Ethiopia. Burton's greatest journey began in 1857 on the coast of what is now eastern Tanzania. Following African paths, he became (1858) the first white in modern times to view Lake Tanganyika. Ill with malaria, he did not travel north with John SPEKE to Lake Victoria and thus failed to discover the source of the Nile. Later, Burton crossed the United States to Salt Lake City and went on to Panama before returning to England in 1861. For the next three years he served as British consul at Fernando Po, off the coast of Nigeria, went up the Congo River, and journeyed to Dahomey (now Benin). He was later consul in Santos, Brazil (1865-69), Damascus, and Trieste (1872-90). Burton died on Oct. 20, 1890. In addition to his travels, which he celebrated in 21 books, Burton produced books on swordsmanship and falconry and is widely remembered for his translation of the Tales of the Arabian Nights. A brilliant linguist, he also secretly translated a number of Eastern erotic manuals. Burton's frankness about sexuality in his publicly distributed works offended many Victorians, and after his death his widow destroyed his papers to avoid scandal.
