First edition. - Cox I, 390 - Henze III, 229 - Mendelssohn I, 892 (cf.) - Account of his second journey into the interior of Africa, which took him through Namaqualand, Damaraland, Bechuanaland, and the Kalahari. "Later travelers cast doubt on the authenticity of Le Vaillant’s journey to these regions, as they could not locate tribes bearing the names given by the author; however, these peoples were likely dispersed or annihilated, and there can be little doubt that the traveler actually visited these places."
