One of the most renowned nineteenth-century British explorers of
Africa, David Livingstone (1813 73) was a medical missionary who
received the Royal Geographical Society gold medal in 1855. His
fame was established by his 1853 6 coast-to-coast exploration of
the African interior, and by the best-selling Missionary Travels
and Researches in South Africa, published upon his return to
England in 1857 (also reissued in this series). Livingstone's last
expedition in search of 'the true source of the Nile', undertaken
in 1866, forms the core of this two-volume travel diary, published
posthumously in 1874. Volume 1 describes his illness-plagued
journey from Zanzibar to Ujiji, in Western Tanzania. It also
records his 1871 encounter with the New York Herald correspondent
and explorer Henry Morton Stanley, who had been dispatched to find
him after Livingstone had been cut off from the outside world for
so long that he was presumed dead.
