This is the definitive biography of Richard Francis Burton by Hugh J. Schonfield.'Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause:He noblest lives and noblest dies whomakes and keeps his self-made laws.All other Life is living Death, A worldwhere none but Phantoms dwell,A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, atinkling of the Camel-bell.' 3
