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.

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.

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."
