Extractions: Nicholas Baudin (1754-1803) was a French Naval Officer who mapped the island of Tasmania and explored much of the coastline of Australia (including Geographe Bay, Guichen Bay (1802), Fleurieu Peninsula (1802), Murat Bay, and Shark Bay and the Gulf of Carpentaria) from 1800 until 1803. He sailed in the ship called "La Geographe" (meaning geography in French) and did many scientific explorations of other Southern Hemisphere areas, including the island of Timor. His expedition mapped coastlines, collected scientific specimens, and made drawings of the areas. In April, 1802, Baudin met the Australian explorer Matthew Flinders in southern Australia. He died on the way home to France on the island on Mauritius in 1803. BURKE AND WILLS

JUMP TO BOOKS There are numerous sites on the Web devoted to Burton, as well as many easily accessible books detailing his life and accomplishments there's no point in repeating such things here, beyond a few facts to jar the reader's memory he was captain in the Bombay Army; co-discoverer of the source of the White Nile with John Hanning Speke; British consul on the island of Fernando Po off the coast of Equatorial Guinea; at Damascus, Syria; at Trieste, Austria-Hungary and at Santos, Brazil. He was one of the most important linguists of his day, giving a well-received direct-from-Arabic English translation of the Arabian Nights in 16 volumes; original translator of the Kama Sutra ; expert swordsman; knighthood (1886) and a hundred other accomplishments, truly a 19th-Century Western Man in the best sense of the term. But then the 20th-Century came along, with its Stalinist "PC" cleansing of old works of history, which attempted to obliterate what I present here. There's another side, the suppressed, expurgated and censored side, that needs to be brought into the light. The following essays or chapters have been suppressed for various reasons Victorian prudishness and political reasons predominantly.

Reader Reviews Victorian England, captain sir richard francis burton is that man. thing less readily grasped than burton the man is burton the explorerauthor. http://vvv.com/home/rowena/srfbr2.html
Extractions: Review by Ron Dingman, June 21, 1999 If any one man can be said to embody within himself all of the variegated, frequently turbulent impulses and philosophical strains that characterized Victorian England, Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton is that man. Poet and ruffian, master linguist and master fencer, scholar and coarse prankster, military officer and rebel, spy for "John Company" (the British East India Company) and proto-anthropologist, explorer and consul, religious skeptic and earnest student of religions, vehement racist and bitter critic of his countrymen's disdain of foreign cultures, irrepressible bawd and sexual conservative, Burton is arguably the most complex, the most thoroughly "Victorian" figure next to Count Dracula. Indeed, in some respects, Dracula is a more believable character than Burton. Allen Edwardes' biography of Burton, Death Rides a Camel , is a good introduction to the complex series of dichotomies that comprise Burton's personality and legacy. Edwardes, who in his preface purports to show "the tragicomic life of Sir Richard Francis Burton in the nude without fig leaf, and without codpiece as well," is a fitting biographer for Burton, given their similarity of interests. Edwardes is also the author of The Jewel in the Lotus: A Historical Survey of the Sexual Culture of the East The Cradle of Erotica: A Study of Afro-Asian Sexual Expression and an Analysis of Erotic Freedom in Sexual Relationships (with Robert E.L. Masters, 1962)

Extractions: Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was, in his own words, "a blaze of light without a focus." He was a soldier, undercover agent, and diplomat for the British Empire, an explorer who sought the sources of the Nile, a scholar who translated the Arabian Nights and the Kama Sutra , and the first Englishman to enter the Islamic city of Mecca . His travels and postings brought him to far-flung parts of Africa, India and South America . He spoke some 29 languages, and could pass for various nationalities. Burton 's remarkable life deserves to be better known to Americans partly for its historical interest and sheer adventure, but also because it exemplifies certain qualities vital to American military, intelligence, diplomatic and economic success in the world today. These include a strong interest in foreign languages and cultures, a capacity for physical bravery in dangerous times and places, and an intellectual boldness suitable for the defense and promotion of liberal democratic civilization against its avowed enemies.
Istria On The Internet - Prominent Non-Istrians sir richard francis burton, British consul, explorer and Orientalist, was bornat Barham The True Life of captain sir richard F. burton, by his niece, http://www.istrianet.org/istria/illustri/non-istrian/burton/
Extractions: Sir Richard Francis Burton, British consul, explorer and Orientalist, was born at Barham House, Hertfordshire, on the 19th of March 1821 and died on October 19, 1890 in Trieste. He came of the Westmorland Burtons of Shap, but his grandfather, the Rev. Edward Burton, settled in Ireland as rector of Tuam, and his father, Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Netterville Burton, of the 36th Regiment, was an Irishman by birth and character. His mother was descended from the MacGregors, and he was proud of a remote drop of Bourbon blood piously believed to be derived from a morganatic union of the Grand Monarque. There were even those, including some of the Romany themselves, who saw gipsy written in his peculiar eyes as in his character, wild and resentful, essentially vagabond, intolerant of convention and restraint. His irregular education strengthened the inherited bias. A childhood spent in France and Italy, under scarcely any control, fostered the love of untrammelled wandering and a marvellous fluency in continental vernaculars. Such an education so little prepared him for academic proprieties, that when he entered Trinity College, Oxford, in October 1840, a criticism of his military moustache by a fellow-undergraduate was resented by a challenge to a duel, and Burton in various ways distinguished himself by such eccentric behaviour that rustication inevitably ensued. Nor was he much more in his element as a subaltern in the 18th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, which he joined at Baroda in October 1842.

With portrait; maps by Arrowsmith; and numerous illustrations Heraldic bookplate of William Edwards. The most famous of the Victorian African explorers, David Livingstone, a shopkeeper's son from Blantyre, Scotland, had qualified in medicine from Glasgow University and sailed for southern Africa with the London Missionary Society in 1840. Over the next years, he steadily pushed his base northward into central Africa, until in 1851 he reached the Zambesi. Sending his wife and family home, he set out on an extraordinary series of travels through what was still Arab slave-trading territory, until he eventually marched his porters down the Zambesi valley towards the east coast, and in 1855 discovered the Falls of Shongwe, illustrated here; these he admiringly described as seeming to "exceed in size the falls of the Clyde at Stonebyres," and renamed in honor of the British queen.

WONDERGATES But Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is not captain sir richard francis burton. As I recall,burton (explorer, linguist, Scholar of the Koran scholar, etc. http://www.westafricareview.com/vol1.2/preston.html
Extractions: Dear Africanist Colleagues: I have not gotten sufficiently angry enough to write a letter about this sort of thing since I can remember but the Gatescapades in Africa did just that. But before I go any further, I want to make it clear that in this letter I am not referring to Gates' encyclopedic work for Encarta which I have not seen, nor to his work in literature. My daughter Afua, born in Africa of an Ashanti mother had just called me. "Dad, are you watching this video version of a bad textbook on Africa? Wonders of the African World." On screen: An archeological zone is to be inundated, and the peasants moved to higher ground and electrified homes with running water. Here is Professor Gates scolding the Islamic Nubian peasants for forsaking their glorious archeological past, informing them that the government of Sudan has coerced them into supporting the destruction of their Meroitic traditions. In Gates' mind they really do not want modern plumbing and electric light. That the government of Sudan may not think much of pagan Meroe and Axum is plausible but it is equally plausible that present day Islamic people inhabiting the sight do not feel culturally related to the people who built them. Gates is so besotted with himself that he thinks whatever he does is interesting and apparently worthy of documentation, including gaffs. Details of his personal idiosyncrasies which tactfully should have been edited are filmed: glib remarks in inappropriate contexts (He points to the mummy of a sanctified Ethiopian king and asks, "who's this brother?), taking a sand bath, pulling his shirt over his head as a passing truck makes a miniature dust storm. How about pulling out a clothesline and flossing your - - - in public? You need to be Brad Pitt in front of a groupie audience to make something like that work and Gates is neither a man of charm nor presence. Thus the forcefulness and truthfulness of his ideas is critical.

The African Association was founded in 1788. "Its activities mark the beginning of African exploration in a systematic way, as well as the furthering of British trade and political prestige on that continentThe first concern of the African Association was the River Niger - where was its source and what was the direction of its flow, etc. The first four expeditions were unfortunate for the leaders, Ledyard, Lucas, Horneman, and Houghton, all of whom either died while enroute or were murdered by the fanatical Moors. The fifth, that of Mungo Park, was rich in geographical results, though he too died on his second expedition" (Cox). The map, compiled by James Rennell, shows the extent of geographical knowledge of north Africa at this time.

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.
