Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, From 1865 to His Death: Abridged From the Original London Edition Few persons familiar with Dr. Livingstone's earlier writings have failed to observe that his books contain considerable matter which, however profitable it may be as a study for embryo explorers, members of Geographical Societies, and persons of various scientific tastes, is dry and uninteresting to people generally; and it is doubtless true that the last journals of the great traveler, recently published in London, of which this volume is an abridged reprint, is open to the same criticism. Very few, for example, will care to know that the strike of large masses of foliated gneiss is parallel with the major axis of the lake, or that the names of the thirty-nine species of fish inhabiting it are Monde, Mota, Lasa, Kasibe, Molobe, Lopembe, etc., etc. In preparing this book the aim has been to retain every thing necessary to the continuity of the narrative and a full understanding of Dr. Livingstone's travels, adventures, dis coveries and experiences, and all else which would be likely to interest any considerable portion of intelligent American readers: and it is believed that for them, at least, the Journals lose nothing of their interest or depth of meaning at the compiler's hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Livingstone (1813-73) was a Scottish missionary and medical doctor who explored much of the interior of Africa. Livingstone's most famous expedition was in 1866-73, when he traversed much of central Africa in an attempt to find the source of the Nile. This book contains the daily journals that Livingstone kept on this expedition, from his first entry on January 28, 1866, when he arrived at Zanzibar (in present-day Tanzania), to his last on April 27, 1873, four days before he died from malaria and dysentery in a village near Lake Bangweulu in present-day Zambia. In his more than seven-year journey, Livingstone was assisted by friendly African chiefs and at times by Arab slave traders, whose activities he abhorred. His journals contain detailed observations on the people, plants, animals, topography, and climate of central Africa, as well as on the slave trade. The journals also provide Livingstone's account of his meeting with Henry Morton Stanley in the fall of 1871. Stanley had been sent by the New York Herald to find the explorer, but was unable to convince him to return to England. Livingstone's last entry reads: "Knocked up quite, and remain--recover--sent to buy milch-goats. We are on the banks of the Molilamo." After Livingstone's death, his African servants Susi and Chuma saved the journals for transport to England, where they were edited and published by Livingstone's friend Horace Waller.

This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (first published in 1874) contains extracts from last journals written by David Livingstone, together with an account of his last moments and sufferings. This fantastic volume is recommended for those with an interest in the life and work of the famous explorer, and is not to be missed by collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. Horace Waller (1833–1896) was an English activist and missionary famous for being a close friend of David Livingstone and a prolific writer on the subject of Africa. David Livingstone (1813 - 1873), was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society, as well as a famed explorer. 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: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of commercial empire. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. David Livingstone's final years are told in his own words, as he traverses the deepest wildernesses of Africa to make several valuable discoveries with the help of his assistants. A medical missionary, scientist and explorer, David Livingstone's multi-faceted personality appealed to a wide strata of England's 19th century society. Although he came from a poor background, his talents and distinctions were clear by the time he came of age, and his name was synonymous with exploration and adventure. Livingstone felt the appeal of Africa at a young age whilst still a medical student. He was inspired by ambitious plans to end the slave trade between Africans, which his contemporaries considered possible through expedient missionary work and the introduction of conventional trades as an alternative to the immorality of dealing in human beings. By the mid-1860s Dr. Livingstone had over two decades experience of Africa, and commanded much respect among the peoples for his education and compassion. He was a personable man, noted for his diplomatic abilities which served to calm tensions and suspicions among local chieftains and warlords. His mission was fourfold: to end slavery, to introduce Christianity, to encourage commerce, and to study the geography and layout of inland Africa. These preoccupations are evident in his diaries, which evidence a man who had engendered good relations with the local peoples. Living among Africans for years, his traveling companions respected him for courage; many of his explorations were in dangerous swamps. When he contracted malaria and later dysentery, the atmosphere became sombre as the great explorer expired. Livingstone's remains were carried over 1,000 miles to the coast, where they were taken to England for burial.

This book was released on 2002-05-28 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his travels as a missionary, David Livingstone beheld many previously unknown wonders of the African interior. He put Victoria Falls and Lake Ngami on the map, and was the first white man to cross the African continent. Diaries, reports and letters are combined to create a wonderful narration of Livingstone's travels in a widely unknown continent. Included in this harrowing tale is Livingstone's narrow escape from a lion's wrath, his negotiations with an African chief, and his account of the Portuguese slave traders brutally punishing slaves after their attempt to escape. The Life and African Explorations of Livingstone also reveals Livingstone's deeply-rooted Christian beliefs and the strength he took from them, strength that allowed him to live and thrive amid the hardships of equatorial Africa.
