Henry See also:Kingsley (1827-1892), was See also:born in See also:Islington, See also:London, on the 13th of See also:October 1862
.
Her See also:father, though less widely known than his See also:brothers, See also:Charles and Henry (see above), was a See also:man of versatile abilities, with a See also:passion for travelling which he managed to indulge -in See also:combination with his practice as a See also:doctor
.
He wrote one popular See also:book of travel, See also:South See also:Sea Bubbles, by the See also:Earl and the Doctor (1872), in collaboration with the 13th earl of See also:Pembroke
.
See also:Mary Kingsley's See also:reading in See also:history, See also:poetry and See also:philosophy was wide if desultory, but she was most attracted to natural history
.
Her See also:family moved to See also:Cambridge in 1886, where she studied the See also:science of See also:sociology
.
The loss of both parents in 1892 See also:left her See also:free to pursue her own course, and she resolved to study native See also:religion and See also:law in See also:West See also:Africa with a view to completing a book which her father had left unfinished
.
With her study of " raw fetish " she combined that of a scientific See also:collector of fresh-See also:water fishes
.
She started for the West See also:Coast in See also:August 1893; and at See also:Kabinda, at Old See also:Calabar, Fernando Po and on the See also:Lower See also:Congo she pursued her investigations, returning to See also:England in See also:June 1894
.
She gained sufficient knowledge of the native customs to contribute an introduction to Mr R

.
See also:Miss Kingsley made careful preparations for a second visit to the same coast; and in See also:December 1894, provided by the See also:British Museum authorities with a collector's equipment, she proceeded via Old Calabar to See also:French Congo, and ascended the Ogowe See also:River
.
From this point her See also:journey, in See also:part across See also:country hitherto untrodden by Europeans, was a See also:long See also:series of adventures and hairbreadth escapes, at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time from the dangers of See also:land and water, at another from the cannibal See also:Fang
.
Returning to the coast Miss Kingsley went to See also:Corisco and to the See also:German See also:colony of Cameroon, where she made the ascent of the See also:Great Cameroon (13,760 ft.) from a direction until then unattempted
.
She returned to England in October 1895
.
The See also:story of her adventures and her investigations in fetish is vividly told in her Travels in West Africa (1897)
.
The book aroused wide See also:interest, and she lectured to scientific, gatherings on the See also:fauna, See also:flora and folk-lore of West Africa, and to commercial audiences on the See also:trade of that region and its possible developments, always with a protest against the lack of detailed knowledge characteristic of See also:modern dealings with new See also:fields of trade
.
In both cases she spoke with authority, for she had brought back a considerable number of new specimens of fishes and See also:plants, and had herself traded in See also:rubber and oil in the districts through which she passed
.
But her See also:chief concern was for the development of the See also:negro on See also:African, not See also:European, lines and for the See also:government of the British possessions on the West Coast by methods which left the native " a free unsmashed man—not a whitewashed slave or an enemy." With undaunted See also:energy Miss Kingsley made preparations for a third journey to the West Coast, but the Anglo-See also:Boer See also:War changed her plans, and she
decided to go first to South Africa to See also:nurse See also:fever cases
.
She died of enteric fever at See also:Simon's See also:Town, where she was engaged in tending Boer prisoners, on the 3rd of June 'goo
.
Miss Kingsley's See also:works, besides her Travels, include West African Studies, The Story of West Africa, a memoir of her father prefixed to his Notes on See also:Sport and Travel (1899), and many contributions to the study of West African law and folk-lore
.
To continue the investigation of the subjects Miss Kingsley had made her own " The African Society " was founded in 1901
