The work includes extensive information about gorillas and a discussion of the slave trade (in which Reade blames Africans as much as Europeans for its cruelty, though advocating its abolition), as well as general exploration narratives and (frequently racist) anthopological observations. Some of Reade's ideas were built upon by Darwin in his Descent of Man. For the first edition, published in London in 1863, see WORK p.263.
