Бертон Ричард Фрэнсис
(1821-1890) — английский путешественник. Вместе с Дж. X. Спиком в 1854-1859 годах исследовал Сомали, в 1858 году открыл озеро Танганьика.

Sir Richard F. Burton on the Web
Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) frustrates simple description. Adventurer, linguist, scholar, swordsman, rogue, deviant, genius -- he possessed wild, monstrous talents and was burdened by defects nearly as grave. Continually at odds with the sentiments of his times (he published the first translation of the Kama Sutra and his Arabian Nights was famous for its naughty bits) he was at the same time an unmistakable Victorian.
