This work, 'which absolutely exudes venom, was the heart of Burton's frontal attack on Speke's geographical theories.

The second part comprises 'James MacQueen's scathing attack on John Speke through a lengthy review of the latter's Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile' (id.).Francis Galton's 1864 review of The Nile Basin for The Reader (vol. IV, p. 728) suggests that Burton and MacQueen are far too harsh in their criticisms of Speke.Casada 49; Penzer pp. 74-75.
