"Notes Taken During Travels in Africa" by John Davidson is a collection of travel notes and journal entries written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles Davidson's observations and experiences during his journey across various regions of Africa, offering insight into the cultures, landscapes, and people he encounters along the way. The narrative is structured as a series of journal entries that document his travels alongside a companion named Abou, capturing their interactions with local customs and the challenges they face. The opening of this travelogue begins with Davidson's departure from London and his journey through various locations, including Exeter, Falmouth, and Gibraltar. During this initial phase, Davidson reflects on the cultural differences he observes, particularly through the eyes of his traveling companion, Abou, who expresses amazement at the advancements and organization of European society compared to Africa. The narrative includes vivid descriptions of their travels by mail coach and ship, as well as their initial interactions with local populations and officials. Throughout these early entries, Davidson's observations reveal a sense of curiosity and a nuanced appreciation for the complexities of the cultures he encounters.
