In this book Livingstone describes his travel and work as a missionary to the indigenous people in Central and South Africa. Through the mid-19th-century South Africa was completely unknown to Europeans thus Livingstone's mission brought light to more than just spreading the gospel. The work deals with customs languages animal and plant biology geology topography and mineralogy in Africa.</p><p>According to PMM</p><p>"The geographical results of his journeys were of supreme importance and made it possible to fill in great stretches of the maps of Central Africa which hitherto had been blank." <em>Printing and Mind of Man</em> 341</p><p>Livingstone discovered the Zambesi River and Victoria Falls which he named. He also explored parts of Angola and Mozambique and met with and observed the Hottentot. He was also able to discover some of the most devastating instances of slave trade which propelled his abolitionist ideals. </p><p>Item number: #28441</p><p>Price: $750</p><p>LIVINGSTONE David </p><p><strong><em>Missionary Travels And Researches In South Africa</em></strong></p><p>London: Murray 1857.

‎London John Murray 1857. . First edition inscribed presentation copy; 8vo 23 x 15.5 cm; presentation inscription to front free endpaper 3 lithograph plates including folding frontispiece by Picken engraved portrait 21 wood-engraved plates illustrations in the text 2 folding maps to rear a little spotting to frontispiece; original publisher's brown cloth spine professionally repaired a little bumped a very good copy; ix 687pp.<br /> A presentation copy to 'Andrew Drew Esq./ with the kindest regards/ of / David Livingstone./ 30th April/ 1858'. Then below 'Aubrey W. H. D. Drew/ from his father/ October 26th 1871'.<br /><br />Andrew Drew 1792-1878 was a naval officer who made a name for himself in Woodstock Canada before getting caught up in the Caroline Affair of 1837 in which he led a small force of the British Navy to burn a ship being used by Canadian rebels whilst it was moored in an American harbour. The American government claimed the Navy's i.e. Drew's actions had violated their territorial sovereignty as well as an innocent bystander being killed and it led to the 'Caroline Test' an agreement that allowed the violation of sovereign borders in exceptional circumstances which is still part of the international law today. Drew eventually fled back to Britain in 1840 following continued animosity and death threats where he continued to serve in the Navy until he died as an admiral in 1878.<br /><br />'Perhaps the most famous of all African exploration books this recounts Dr. Livingstone's travels through South Africa with the discovery of Lake Ngami while accompanied by his wife and William Cotton Oswell. Oswell and the author continued their journey discovering the Zambesi River and eventually the Victoria Falls' Czech.<br /><br />'In the period between 1849 and 1856 his explorations took him to Lake Ngami across the Kalahari Desert to the Zambezi River and from there west to the Atlantic Ocean at Loanda today's Sao Paulo de Loanda Angola. He turned down a chance to return to England but entrusted his reports maps and letters for transport. The ship went down with all hands except one and all of Livingstone's papers were lost forcing him to re-create everything. He followed his track back to Linyanti in Botswana and then decided to assess the possibilities of the Zambezi as a highway into the heart of Africa by following it to the Indian Ocean. He reached Victoria Falls in 1855 confirming what he had heard from natives for many years. "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight" he wrote. It was the only site in Africa that he named with English words. Livingstone reached Quilimane on the coast of Mozambique on 20 May 1856 but he got there by cutting across a loop of the Zambezi to Tete inadvertently missing the Kebrabasa Rapids a drop of about six hundred feet. Hence he was unaware that the river was not navigable when he arrived in London at the end of the year to promote its potential to the British government.<br /><br />In the meantime the LMS had informed him that his expeditions were not the kind of gospel work it expected of him and he resigned the next year. In England he was feted as a national hero. The present book written in six months became an immediate best-seller with seven editions published in rapid succession.'

IX 1 687 1 8 pp. First edition of the famous account of the first mission and expedition through southern Africa undertaken by the Scottish physician missionary and explorer David Livingstone 1813-1873. The account narrates chronologically his travels and experiences including numerous descriptions of African tribes and chiefs deserts rivers lakes forests cities diseases animals trees etc. Livingstone arrived in July 1841 at Kuruman in southern Africa. " In 1841-43 he travelled a considerable distance to the north of Kuruman and selected for his future operations the valley of Mabotsa Mabotse" Howgego. He changed station several times in the following years and was the first European to locate Lake Ngami Botswana in 1849. In 1852 Livingstone left Cape Town travelling north trying to find a suitable location on the Zambezi for a missionary station and travelled further to Luanda Angola where he arrived in 1854. He decided to travel back to Lintanti Botswana and further eastward becoming in 1855 the first European to see the waterfall he named Victoria Falls. From there he continued his journey to the east by canoe and arrived in Quelimane Mozambique in May 1856. The map included at the end shows this impressive journey. From Quelimane Livingstone sailed back to England. The folding frontispiece depicts Victoria Falls based on the sketch that Livingstone brought back the first published view apparently produced for Livingstone’s book though Murray appears to have issued it separately in May 1857 a few months before the book appeared; the other plates show many wild animals and natives in their villages.Occasionally some small spots stains or minor foxing internally otherwise in very good condition.

'Livingstone one of the great characters of the nineteenth century embodying all the virtues of the Victorian age is often remembered more for his qualities as a man than for his achievements as an explorer.

Abbey suggested that those with plates 1 and 8 as wood-engravings -- as in this copy -- preceded those in which they were reprinted as tinted lithographs while Bradlow argued much the reverse. In any case this very attractive copy has them as wood-engravings and is one of the issues that appeared before the addition of a leaf following p. 8 in which Livingstone later expounded on the subject of his family. Renard seem to have called this variant the third issue but no reliable order of precedence has been established for the 11 issues that have been identified; Bradlow notes that "the only thing that can be said with certainty is that the issue with the extra leaf numbered 8 and 8 is not the first issue".</p> </p> .
