We have also handled Stanley's copy of Livingstone's Missionary Travels and that too had the map torn out. The maps in question would not have been available as separate publications or reproductions at the time so it is not impossible to imagine that it was Stanley himself who took these maps to use for planning his own expeditions.<br /> London, Murray, 1865. hardcover

Livingstone, David & Charles Livingstone
Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambesi and its Tributaries And of the Discovery of the Lakes Shirwa and Nyassa: 185864
E-235: Harper & Brothers. Very Good. 1866. Hardcover. Hardcover. Large 8vo. Harper & Brothers Franklin Square New York. 1866. 638 pgs. Frontispiece is a double page birds-eye view of the great cataracts of the Zambesi. Illustrted with 36 illustrations and 1 large folding map. Bound in red cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The success of the Victorian explorer and missionary David Livingstone's first book Missionary Travels 1857 led to his receiving government funding in 1858 for an expedition up the Zambezi River. The trip was expected to last two years and was intended to further commercial and scientific as well as missionary aims. However owing to internal disagreements illness including the death of Livingstone's wife drought and tribal warfare the explorers' mission took six and a half years and achieved little apart from collecting plant and geological specimens. The upper reaches of the Zambesi proved unnavigable owing to rapids and waterfalls and the expedition was recalled. This account published in 1865 by Livingstone 18131873 and his younger brother Charles who had accompanied him was in part an attempt to excuse the problems which had beset the expedition and restore Livingstone's reputation in order to gain backing for further ventures.

He was a national hero to his contemporaries and time has confirmed his reputation as one of the greatest if not the greatest of the eminent Victorians both in his achievement and in his influence."<br> This is the scarce account of Livingstone's second expedition. "Other explorers we have had whose fame rose as high but it lasted only for a few years. The influences of Dr. Livingstone's life-work on the other hand are so far- reaching that his fame is above the passing feelings of the time. John Murray hardcover

With double-page frontispiece of the great cataracts of the Zambesi 12 full-page plates 1 large folding map and text illustrations throughout. Brown textured cloth exterior slightly faded and rubbed spine nicked; text is slightly toned but clean. First American edition of Livingstone’s account of his Zambezi expedition to examine the natural resources of southeastern Africa and to determine the navigability of the Zambezi River. He explored the Shire River a stream leading to Zambezi and discovered Lake Nyasa along with the Rovuma River and Lake Chilwa. The expedition met with many difficulties. The Zambezi turned out unnavigable past the Cabora Bassa rapids and in addition he lost his wife Mary to malaria. Livingstone became greatly concerned with the slave trade while exploring Lake Nyasa He encountered marches of manacled slaves and with the entire countryside devasted by warring and slave raiding made a great impact on him. Nevertheless some of the scientists on the expedition contributed collections of botanic ecological geological and ethnographic materials on their return home.<br /> <br /> David Livingstone 1813-1873 was one of the greatest of all African missionaries explorers and antislavery advocate. He made geographical discoveries for European knowledge inspired abolitionists of the slave trade revealed that the interior of the African continent was not an arid wasteland and provided new incentives for European colonization of Africa.

"There must be something in the appearance of white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated natives of Africa; for on entering villages previously unvisited by Europeans if we met a child. he would take to his heels in an agony of terror such as we might feel if we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Museum." - from page 199.
