Attaquer l'Afrique par le nord, pénétrer jusqu'au milieu de ce mystérieux continent, a été le rêve des plus célèbres voyageurs de notre siècle. Quelques-uns ont remonté les fleuves qui se déversent dans l'Atlantique; de hardis Français, ceux-ci au nom de la civilisation et du christianisme, ceux-là dans un but scientifique et commercial, sont entrés par la mer Rouge; on les a vus s'enfoncer dans l'Abyssinie, parcourir des régions où, depuis le XVIIe siècle, l'Europe était presque entièrement oubliée. Ces nobles entreprises, accomplies avec des succès divers, ont eu, selon leur importance, le retentissement qui suit toute action grande et généreuse; de plus, elles ont attiré particulièrement l'attention sur cette partie du globe, si difficile à explorer, si peu connue encore, si étrangement peuplée de tribus et de familles presque toutes différentes entre elles.
