The Manchester Geographical Society was one of the most important provincial geographical societies in Britain, in its heyday rivaling even the Royal Geographical Society of London. The Society was founded in 1884, stimulated by the commercial opportunities being created by the `opening up' of Africa. It has organised a lecture series throughout its history with many eminent explorers, scientists and philanthropists of the day. Its Journal began publication in 1885. The first issue included an article by H M Stanley. It ceased publication in 1960. Some staining to covers, contents clean. Very Good.
