Two lectures given by the medical missionary and explorer David
Livingstone after his return to England from his travels in Africa
(1841-1856) form the core of this book, which was originally
published in 1858, the year when Livingstone set off on the British
Zambezi expedition. The book also contains a biography, a letter
from Adam Sedgwick (then Professor of Geology at Cambridge), and a
thorough appendix covering the scientific results of the journey,
describing the geography, mineralogy, diseases, and the language
and cultural aspects of the peoples Livingstone encountered.
Finally, Livingstone reports on the needs and prospects for further
missionary work in Africa. Although Livingstone himself felt his
calling was now to pursue purely scientific exploration, he hoped
that the lectures and their subsequent publication would encourage
other missionaries to continue his work of evangelisation.
