A Historical and Philosophical Sketch of the Discoveries and Settlements of the Europeans in Northern and Western Africa, at the Close of the Eighteenth Century Although he had never set foot in Africa, Scottish poet and linguist John Leyden (1775–1811) decided to publish this sketch in 1799. He uses the travel narratives of writers who had ventured into the African interior, making this work a valuable collection of eighteenth-century accounts by European explorers.
