96778London By arrangement from the British Banner Routledge 1857. . First edition. 16mo 16.2 x 10 cm. 64 pp. wood-engraved folding map by E. Whymper; original red printed pictorial wrappers some small loss to spine else a very good copy.<br /> Rare. The first appearance in book form of any account of Livingstone's travels in Africa the preface is dated January 1857 and his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa did not appear until November of that year.<br /><br />The preface states that 'in giving to the world the first authentic narrative of the important explorations of the Rev. Dr. Livingstone the publishers have to acknowledge their obligations to the spirited conductors of the British Banner in whose columns in detached portions this remarkable history first appeared. The interest awakened by the return of the Missionary wanderer to his native land after an absence of fifteen years is scarcely second to the anxiety manifested to obtain information as to the actual discoveries which have been made.' It claims the map was revised by Livingstone himself despite the Kalahari being described as the Lahari and the explorer's name is spelt incorrectly throughout.<br /> Mendelssohn 1957 I p.908 and Mendelssohn 1979 III p.430.

Oswell and the author continued their journey discovering the Zambesi River and eventually the Victoria Falls.' - Czech.<br /><br />In the period between 1849 and 1856 his explorations took him to Lake Ngami across the Kalahari Desert to the Zambezi River and from there west to the Atlantic Ocean at Loanda today's Sao Paulo de Loanda Angola. He turned down a chance to return to England but entrusted his reports maps and letters for transport. The ship went down with all hands except one and all of Livingstone's papers were lost forcing him to re-create everything. He followed his track back to Linyanti in Botswana and then decided to assess the possibilities of the Zambezi as a highway into the heart of Africa by following it to the Indian Ocean. He reached Victoria Falls in 1855 confirming what he had heard from natives for many years. "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight" he wrote. It was the only site in Africa that he named with English words. Livingstone reached Quilimane on the coast of Mozambique on 20 May 1856 but he got there by cutting across a loop of the Zambezi to Tete inadvertently missing the Kebrabasa Rapids a drop of about six hundred feet. Hence he was unaware that the river was not navigable when he arrived in London at the end of the year to promote its potential to the British government.<br /><br />In the meantime the LMS had informed him that his expeditions were not the kind of gospel work it expected of him and he resigned the next year. In England he was feted as a national hero. The present book written in six months became an immediate best-seller with seven editions published in rapid succession.

"David Livingstone". These are the final writings of David Livingstone shortly before his death in 1873. He was seeking the source of the Lualaba which he thought was the source of the Nile. Livingstone succumbed to his injuries and illnesses he suffered from his travels around equatorial Africa. While Livingstone was an advocate for native sovereignty and a firm abolitionist historians argue that he renewed the justification for British imperialism on African lands. While Livingstone genuinely believed in spreading the Christian gospel economic imperialists used this pretense to invade and control many parts of Africa. These journals are a record of Livingstone's final days a first-hand account of travel around nineteenth-century central Africa and one of the high spots of nineteenth-century African exploration. A Very Good set with an occasional faint dampstain to the margins of some of the plates not affecting the visibility or sharpness of any of them. Bindings are sharp with very mild mellowing to the spine's leather. John Murray hardcover

"Livingstone's services to African geography . are almost unequalled . he explored vast regions of central Africa many of which had never been seen by white men before" PMM.<br/><br/>One of the great classics of African travel. When Livingstone returned to England after sixteen years in Africa he was immediately awarded the Royal Geographical Society's gold medal. These years saw him seek to fulfil his obligations to the London Missionary Society he made two long journeys north try to find a better station for the mission to operate from. He later travelled to Lake Ngami and most importantly in the years 1854-6 he made his great crossing of Africa from Luanda on the west coast to Quelimane on the east. All of this is recorded in his account. He set the standard that the likes of Stanley Speke and Burton all tried to attain. <br/><br/>His account not only set out his adventures and experiences but it filled with notes on natural history anthropology tropical medicine and religion. Furthermore Czech notes that the work also contains sporting interest: "There are numerous sporting incidents with hunts after lions buffalo elephants and a variety of plains game even though Livingstone did not consider himself a sportsman" Abbey Travel 347; Mendelssohn.
