Mendelssohn III 136. cfGarrison & Morton 5269. cfGay 3034. cfPrinting and the Mind of Man 341. cfAbbey Travel 347. cfHosken p. 126 1st Issue. Livingstone describes his missionary activities and travels in South Africa from 1841 to 1853 and his first major expedition the Trans-Africa journey of 1853-56. On this expedition he travelled from Linyanti to Loanda and from Linyanti to Quilimane. While exploring the Zambesi River he discovered the famous Victoria Falls in November 1855. "The results in geography and in natural science in all its departments were abundant and accurate; his observations necessitated a reconstruction of the map of Central Africa. When Livingstone began his work in Africa the map was virtually blank from Kuruman to Timbuktu and nothing but envy or ignorance can throw any doubt on the originality of his discoveries." Encyc. Britan. 11th Edn. Livingstone also here gives an accurate account of the tsetse fly and of the disease produced in cattle following its bite. "Delightful reading."

1875BOOKS000242New York: Harper & Brothers 1875 5414 ad pages with frontispiece portrait 2 maps including folding pocket map 21 full page and 25 smaller illustrations. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" issued in green cloth with gilt lettering on spine and gilt pictorial on cover and spine with blind stamped rule to cover edges edges beveled. Edited by Horace Waller. First published in London by John Murray in 1874. 1st American edition. Dr David Livingstone 19 March 1813 1 May 1873 was a British Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and explorer in central Africa. He was the first European to see Mosi-oa-Tunya Victoria Falls to which he gave the English name in honour of his monarch Queen Victoria. He is the subject of the meeting with H. M. Stanley which gave rise to the popular quotation "Dr Livingstone I presume" Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian Britain Livingstone had a mythic status which operated on a number of interconnected levels: that of Protestant missionary martyr that of working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story that of scientific investigator and explorer that of imperial reformer anti-slavery crusader and advocate of commercial empire. His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the Nile River that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent. At the same time his missionary travels "disappearance" and death in Africa and subsequent glorification as posthumous national hero in 1874 led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa."
