Signor Succi is forty five years old and until ten
years ago was employed in bank in Rome. In 1875
he went to ConstantinOpe. and thence began long
series of travels in Africa and the East which led
as he afirms. to his discovery. He says hs made
important treaties with some native Princes, and
secured concessions among others the Island Of

repeated applications to King and Ministers. as his
accounts OF his African treaties were always accom-
