ABSTRACT
A M O N G the many blessings which the Arab has given mankind, not one of the least is the Zanzibari. Long before Bruce, Mungo Park, and Denham had roused English interest in African exploration, before even Prince Henry the Navigator had sent out his fleets, or Vasco da Gama had rounded the Cape and quarrelled with the people of Mombasa, the Arabs had quietly found their way into the heart of the Continent, settled on the shores of Tanganyika, built trading stations on the hills of Unyamwezi, and discovered all the great lakes as well as the snow-capped summits of Kilima Njaro and Kenya.
