Where quotations have been taken from translated works, the translator's English has normally been set down without alteration and a straightforward reference given, for example Bello, Inf M (Arnett, p. 57). On a number of occasions, however, the author has preferred to render the passage in his own English and these cases have been distinguished by the insertion of cf. in the reference, for example, Bello, Inf M (cf. Arnett, P. 57).
One other point calls for a word of explanation. Clapperton's accounts of his two journeys both have very long titles. The first, which he wrote in conjunction with Oudney and Denham, has therefore been abbreviated to Travels and the second to Journal.
