(London: George Philip & Son, 1891).

FIRST EDITION, HANDSOMELY BOUND OF THIS SCARCE WORK.  As Sir H.H. Johnston states in his preface to the original edition,  this work is to be regarded more in the light of a sketch of Livingstone s life as an African explorer than a regular biography, and he goes on to say that  until I traveled in Livingstone s footsteps and entered minutely into the recorded details of Livingstone s work in Africa, I realised but feebly the debt which African civilisation owes to that great man, and the permanent and solid value of his careful researches into the physical conditions and natural history of the Dark Continent From the Publisher s Note.
