Imprint: (London: The Graphic, 1875) Folio (405 x 298 mm); contained within a film fronted bag; wrappers discarded; pp. [121-144]; several woodcuts and advertisements. Some foxing and occasional minor soiling. There is a front page illustration captioned "The Civil War in Spain - Carlist fugitives from Villatuerta". Another highlight, coinciding with the centenary commemoration in Ireland, is the full-page supplementary portrait of Daniel O'Connell. The article which accompanies the portrait notes: "In this country it is generally held that O'Connell had reached the zenith of his reputation when the Catholic Emancipation Act was passed, and that his subsequent agitation for Repeal was purposeless and mischievous, and unworthy of his great abilities. Latterly, as above observed, the more fiery spirits among his own countrymen revolted from his teaching, and at the time of his death he was by no means popular. But now after the lapse of nearly thirty years his countrymen naturally forget his shortcomings and dwell only on the great and substantial services which he rendered to them. Both in his faults and his virtues O'Connell was a thorough Irishman, and he possessed in a most eminent degree that faculty with which his countrymen are so richly endowed, the gift of popular eloquence. We take occasion elsewhere to review a collection of his speeches, but it must be remembered that they were mostly delivered from reports uncorrected by the orator. Much of their force vanishes in print, for we have no longer the burly presence of the speaker, the rich voice, the twinkling eye, the impassioned gestures. He was such a master of his excitable hearers that within a few moments he could lash them to wrath with his vituperation, he could melt them to tears with his pathos, he could make them burst into uncontrollable laughter with his broad fun."

Imprint: (London: The Graphic, 1875) Folio (405 x 298 mm); contained within a film fronted bag; wrappers discarded; pp. [569-592]; several woodcuts and advertisements. Some foxing and occasional minor soiling. There are several pictures from the Royal Visit to India, and from George Nares' Arctic expedition with 'Alert' and 'Discovery' (including a two-page spread of illustrations, one of which shows Upernavik, the most northerly settlement in the world), plus a report on 'The Interior of Africa'. The Africa article brings up to date the record of exploration in the interior of the Dark Continent, noting that, despite some progress, 'all the recent attempts to explain the greater terra incognita from the West side, by ascending the Congo river, have been failures.' The conclusions drawn in the November 13 issue regarding the implications of Stanley's findings are amplified here: 'It must be pleasing to the friends and supporters of the late Captain Speke to notice how completely the statements and conclusions of that great explorer are borne out by the observations of Mr. Stanley. Speke would have it that Victoria Nyanza was one great lake, not two or more smaller ones, and the "Anglo-American Expedition" has conclusively settled that point in his favour; he believed that he had found what is preeminently the source of the Nile, and now it is so evident as to be undeniable that he did do so.'

Imprint: (London: The Graphic, 1875) Folio (405 x 298 mm); contained within a film fronted bag; wrappers discarded; pp. [465-488]; several woodcuts and advertisements. Some spotting and occasional light soiling; corners a little curled; tear to inside margin of front page, with slight loss, not affecting printed area. There are several illustrations of the passage to India, including a two-page supplementary section. Scenes from the Arctic feature, with an accompanying description of events during the 'North Star' expedition twenty-five years before. African interest is provided by two pages of pictures on Stanley's Congo Expedition. The article 'African Geography' provides an update of current news on the exploration of Africa, noting "the combined violence and verbosity with which some of its obscurer problems have been disputed over." The significance of the African explorers' discoveries in the region of the Great Lakes is appreciated, and Speke's assertions regarding Lake Victoria are finally vindicated by Stanley's recent exploration of that huge body of water. "But, apart from the thrilling adventures of the explorers themselves, African geography has assumed an intelligible and interesting shape as lake after lake has been discovered in the interior of the continent, and the connection has been already established of that great lake region with such mighty rivers as the Nile and the Congo. The emergence (into public notice) of an immense, elevated, temperate, fertile region, thinly peopled by savages unknown to civilisation, and studded with enormous freshwater lakes, could not fail greatly to excite the public interest. ... Mr. Stanley's recent contribution to our knowledge on that subject has dissipated the doubts which existed as to the character, and almost the existence, of Lake Victoria Nyanza and as to its connection with the Nile. It may now be seen that Captain Speke was perfectly right in his assertions as to the existence of one enormous lake ... " Stock number: 5162.

Imprint: (London: The Graphic, 1875) Folio (405 x 298 mm); contained within a film fronted bag; wrappers discarded; pp. [241-272]; several woodcuts and advertisements. Some spotting and occasional light soiling. There are several illustrations of the Arctic Expedition of George Nares with the 'Alert' and 'Discovery', and a substantial illustrated supplement, with map, on the subject. Details are provided of the experiences on the voyage, and expectations as to the expedition to the Pole. As to plans for travel, it is noted that "Captain Nares is satisfied that in order to reach the Pole the most certain method is to push forward sledge parties." Although the expedition, described by David Mountfield as "the last British naval assault upon the Arctic in the 19th century", iced-in by bad weather, failed in its ultimate objective, it did nevertheless achieve a farthest-north record and lay the foundation for Peary's success of thirty-three years later. "The success of this expedition," writes Mountfield, "like others before it, was due to the high quality of British seamanship and the gritty determination of the younger officers, in particular Albert Markham." - Mountfield: A History of Polar Exploration, p. 115 Stock number: 5164.
