He completed thirteen exploratory journeys in northern Mozambique, including the first exploration of the Makua and Lomwe countries between Mozambique Island and Lake Malawi. This recreation of the book, which he never published, makes available for the first time a large body of information on the peoples of northern Mozambique (a region still little researched), on the history of the slave trade in the western Indian Ocean and on the expansion of Portuguese rule and the resistance to it by powerful local communities. The Introduction includes the first ever biographical study of O’Neill and his contribution to African exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Northern Mozambique in the Nineteenth Century est constitué de la biographie d'un marin devenu consul britannique (le troisième: 1879 - 1889) au Mozambique, suivie de la publication du manuscrit d'un livre jamais publié (c'est, hélas, fréquent) reprenant les texes de plusieurs articles de l'auteur (Henry Edward O'Neill) résumant 13 voyages d'exploration entre le Zambèze et le Rovuma, avec une pointe au Sud-Mozambique.\" - René Pélissier, in: Africana Studia, No. 25 (2015), p. 176  \"...the book conveys interesting and important direct observations about and engagements with the trade, production, cultures and peoples of Northern Mozambique.
