A Mission to Gelele, King of Dahome with Notices of the so Called "Amazons", the Grand Customs, the Yearly Customs, the Human Sacrifices, the Present State of the Slave Trade and the Negro's Place in Nature
|
|
|
London: Tinsley Brothers, 1864. 2 vols. Burton visited for a few days in 1863. Disappointed by what he saw, or rather didn't see, Burton determined to return, and eventually Lord John Russell gave permission for Burton to make an official visit to protest to King Gelele about his participation in the slave trade and his indulgence in human sacrifice. When Burton arrived, he was greeted by the king and toasted with rum drunk from a human skull. Generally, Burton was unimpressed with Gelele's Amazon fighting force and the king layed on enough human sacrifice for Burton to leave quite revolted with Gelele and his kingdom. Rebound in strong Library binding, Spine rubbed with some loss to extremities. Rare in any state or condition. (Penzer p.73). First Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
