      This is the topic on how the Portuguese and others travelled and explored the Inner continent of Africa.

  • The subject was argued with much learning, and a large map was exhibited to illustrate the views of the author. Some of the more striking points of difference between this map and the recent ones of Livingstone were the total separation of the rivers Liambeji and Zambesi (the upper and lower courses of the Zambesi) and the release of their affluents from the system of inosculation which, in recent maps, bind all those rivers together; and the northwest direction of Lake Nyassa, which was made continuous with Tanganyika, forming an elongated lake, called Nanja mucuro.

      The matter was debated thoroughly, and a big map was displayed to illustrate the author's points of view. Some of the more notable differences between this map and Livingstone's recent ones were the complete separation of the rivers Liambeji and Zambesi (the upper and lower courses of the Zambesi) and the release of their affluents from the system of inosculation that, in recent maps, binds all those rivers together; and the north-west direction of Lake Nyassa, which was made continuous with Tanganyika, forming an elongated lake

      David Livingstone was a Scottish physician, Congregationalist, and pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa, and one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. David was the husband of Mary Moffat Livingstone, from the prominent 18th-century missionary family, Moffat. Livingstone had a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags-to-riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion.

He also published a Catalogue of the Museum Carlsonianum (1786-89), in which he described many of the specimens he had collected in South Africa and the South Pacific, some of which were new to science. He published an Ornithology of Sweden in 1806.

      He was a French author, explorer, naturalist, zoological collector, travel writer, and noted ornithologist. He reported numerous new bird species based on birds he gathered in Africa, and some birds bear his name. He was among the first to use colour plates to illustrate birds and was opposed to Carl Linnaeus's use of binomial nomenclature, preferring to use descriptive French names such as bateleur (meaning "tumbler or tight-rope walker") for the peculiar African eagle. He explored most of the Southern African`s country by his time.

Exploration manuscript 2 - 3 views

  •  
    The manuscript conveys how the Portuguese explored Central and Southern Africa. The Portuguese started to explore Angola and Mozambique. Stanely explored Congo. Livingstone Explored Zambezi. Portuguese colonists in Angola and Mozambique were fewer in number and weaker in authority than those in the interior of South Africa. They were unable to control coastal trade and merchants in the hinterland, and their economies were poor and corrupt. Whites had superior status and prestige, and Portugal regained its colonizing energy only after the Napoleonic Wars. Portuguese attempted to expand their colonial nucleus in Angola and Mozambique, leading to wars with African peoples, superior status, and prestige. Portugal regained its colonizing energy at the end of the 19th century. Until the 1890s, the Portuguese held limited power outside of their coastal strongholds. The lone bright point in their fortunes in southeastern Africa was Delagoa Bay's burgeoning affluence as commerce with the Transvaal developed. Internationally, Portuguese claims over Delagoa Bay were recognized in 1875. With the discovery of gold in the South African Republic, the bay gained additional significance as its nearest exit, and Lourenço Marques became Mozambique's capital in 1888.
