Livingstone's activism after his journey did result in the creation of the UMCA. <br /> <br /> Despite the 1865 date on the title page this copy is clearly a much later issue from the original publisher as demonstrated by the 1877 publisher's catalogue and the presence of blind- rather than gilt stamping on the front board first edition copies were stamped in gilt.

FIRST EDITION. The quest to recover David Livingstone is one of the most famous travel adventures and manhunts in history. By 1870 Livingstone had been missing for long enough that it was generally accepted that he had died somewhere in Central Africa. However James Gordon Bennett proprietor of the “New York Herald†was convinced that Livingstone was still alive and dispatched a richly laden H.M. Stanley to find him. Stanley embarked on his quest on March 12 1871 and after overcoming “innumerable difficulties†he found a discouraged and disheartened Livingstone at Ujiji on November 10. Stanley then uttered the oft-quoted line “Dr. Livingstone I presume†This it is said helped to renew the good doctor’s hope. The two soon set off on an exploration of the north end of Lake Tanganyika and eventually discovered that the Rusizi runs into it and not out of it. Stanley left Livingstone well-provisioned and spiritually inspired on March 15 1872 and came back to England and shortly published this “picturesque narrative†of his experiences helping to secure his reputation as a “leader of men and an explorer of great promise.†<br> Stanley’s travels on this first expedition not only made his literary reputation but also laid the geographical groundwork for his subsequent journey narrated in “Through the Dark Continent†and gave him the tremendous practical experience in African travel that made his third expedition to rescue Emin Pasha narrated in “In Darkest Africa†such a success.

Scottish physician Congregationalist and pioneer Christian missionary and explorer of Africa David Livingstone was one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. Livingstone's fame as an explorer and his obsession with learning the sources of the Nile River was founded on the belief that if he could solve that age-old mystery his fame would give him the influence to end the East African Arab–Swahili slave trade. His subsequent exploration of the central African watershed was the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of Africa. At the same time his missionary travels "disappearance" and eventual death in Africa†‌led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa."
