John Leyden
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.
