Huish compiled this account of the Lander brothers, Cornish explorers who settled the long-debated question of where the Niger ends by following it to its mouths in 1830. He prefaces it with a survey of earlier attempts on West Africa by Park, Denham, Clapperton, Adams, Lyon and Ritchie, and follows the Landers through the towns, markets and kingdoms of the interior.
