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.

Book excerpt: ZANZIBAR, 28th January, 1866.-After a passage of twenty-three days from Bombay we arrived at this island in the Thule, which was one of Captain Sherard Osborne's late Chinese fleet, and now a present from the Bombay Government to the Sultan of Zanzibar. I was honoured with the commission to make the formal presentation, and this was intended by H.E. the Governor-in-Council to show in how much estimation I was held, and thereby induce the Sultan to forward my enterprise. The letter to his Highness was a commendatory epistle in my favour, for which consideration on the part of Sir Bartle Frere I feel deeply grateful. It runs as follows...

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Journals of David Livingstone, Vol. 1 of 2: In Central Africa From 1865 to His Death It is due, in the first place, to his native attendants, whose faithfulness has placed his last writings at our disposal, and also to the reader, before he launches forth upon a series of travels and scientific geographical records of the most extraordinary character, to say that in the following narra tive of seven years' continuous work and new discovery no break whatever occurs. We have not to deplore the loss, by accident or care lessness, of a single entry, from the time of Livingstone's departure from Zanzibar in the beginning of 1866 to the day when his note-book dropped from his hand in the village of Ilala at the end of April, 1873. I trust it will not be uninteresting if I preface the history with a few words on the nature of these journals and writings as they have come to hand from Central Africa.

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.
