OverviewExcerpt from Narrative of a Journey to Musardu, the Capital of the Western Mandingoes I was not even able to ascertain directly the seve ral heights of land by means of the boiling point of water, because my thermometers ranged only from 133 to 140 Fahrenheit. The highest rise of land was indicated by the aneroid at inches; the boil lug point of which would have been 208 Fahrenheit. See Davies Peck's Mathematical Dictionary, page 338, Table of barometric heights corresponding to difference of temperature of boiling water.' It is from these tables that I have made approximate esti mates of the elevations of land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
