Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's 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. First American edition. David Livingstone 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 honor 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."

FIRST EDITION OF THE LAST JOURNALS OF LIVINGSTONE. A rare look at one of the great explorers of Africa, told first hand through his collected journals. This work contains a detailed description of Livingstone's last expedition, which began in Zanzibar in 1866 and ended with his death on the south shore of Lake Tanganyika in 1873. "The two main objects of the expedition were the suppression of slavery by means of civilizing influences, and the ascertainment of the watershed in the region between Nyasa and Tanganyika. At first Livingstone thought the Nile problem had been solved by Speke, Burton, and Baker, but the idea grew upon him that the Nile sources must be sought farther south, and his last journey became in the end a forlorn hope in search of the 'fountains' of Herodotus." These journals were delivered into the hands of Livingstones friends whole and intact; no break occurs in the seven years of his mission from its beginning in Zanzibar to its tragic end in the village of Ilala. From the introduction: "In the midst of the universal sorrow caused by the intelligence that Dr. Livingstone had lost his life at the farthest point to which he had penetrated in his search for the true sources of the Nile, a faint hope was indulged that some of his journals might survive the disaster: this hope, I rejoice to say, has been realized beyond the most sanguine expectations. 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 geographic records of the most extraordinary character, to say that in the following narrative of seven years continuous work and new discovery no break whatever occurs." A staple for any collection of Africana.

David Livingstone David Livingstone was a Scottish medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and explorer in Africa. In this book Livingstone describes his travel and work as a missionary to the indigenous people in Central and South Africa.

The work deals with customs, languages, animal and plant biology, geology, topography, and mineralogy which he kept until his death.
