Sinossi
Excerpt from Practical Hints to Scientific Travellers
The principal object of this book is to compile the experiences of scientific explorers in different countries, so that these experiences are easily accessible. It is not the intention to compete with the existing Manuals, which have in view to furnish the traveller with a compendium of scientific learning.
After an experience of several years in the East Indias, in Africa and in America the conviction urged itself upon me that many travellers, although well-equipped with regard to scientific work, are only poorly informed as to the things of every day life as well as to the customs and manners which prevail among white and coloured man in distant regions. Yet, its knowledge is hardly less necessary for the success of a journey. I am convinced, that it is in the interest of Science to make an attempt of prevailing the blunders, which often are unvoluntarily made, and to guard scientific travellers from many pitfalls to be met along the way.
It goes without saying that personal qualities and personal tastes play an important part in the treatment of some of the subjects. The attentive reader will encounter no difficulties in selecting these subjects and he may follow the advice or not.
