PMM 341. "David Livingstone perhaps the greatest of the African explorers was of Scottish birth and originally graduated in medicine at Glasglow University. He became a missionary and was sent to South Africa by the London Missionary Society in 1840. From then onwards his life was devoted to the exploration of central Africa.Livingstone's services to African geography during thirty years are almost unequalled; he covered about a third of the continent from the Cape to the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. He made three great expeditions; in 1853-6 described in his book 1858-64 and 1865-73 of which the first and third are the most important." PMM. unknown

1857réf. 185013London: John Murray 1857. It surpasses in interest the most exciting narratives of modern travel and adventure First edition of this emblematic account of African exploration in the 19th century and of the foundation of the Livingstone legend. He "both embodied and transcended the nineteenth-century tension between religion and science and it was this which accounted for the scale and complexity of his career in Africa" ODNB. Missionary Travels describes the first of his three major expeditions "in which he followed the Zambezi discovering Victoria Falls in the process as well as the Shire and Ruyuma rivers ranging from Angola in the west to Mozambique in the east. During these years he explored vast regions of central Africa many of which had never been seen by white men before" PMM. This copy is Bradlow's variant 7: the frontispiece and plates facing pages 66 and 225 are wood-engravings by Whymper; the extra leaf after page 8 is absent. Gaston Renard called this variant the third issue but as many as 11 variants of the first edition are known and a reliable order of precedence has never been established: it is now accepted 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" Bradlow. This copy has the bookplate of Sir James Lamont 1828-1913 who was an Arctic yachtsman and travel writer. Lamont spent time in South Africa serving with the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders Regiment in 1846-48 later returning on hunting trips. "His attractively written books brought knowledge of the Arctic to a wide audience" ODNB. Lamont's paper label with "E3" is on the front free endpaper. Octavo. Folding frontispiece engraved portrait of Livingstone with tissue-guard 22 plates folding geological cross section 2 folding maps with hand-coloured outlining wood-engravings to the text.

1839réf. 4505219London: T. & W. Boone 1839. A little rubbed with map at end of volume 2 in poor condition and with obtrusive tape repairs. Two volumes octavo with lithographed title-pages large folding map repaired and 51 lithographed plates a few folding or coloured and small text illustrations; contemporary half calf with marbled boards. Thomas Livingstone Mitchell was appointed to succeed Oxley as Surveyor General of New South Wales in 1828. The first expedition described here was undertaken to establish the veracity of a story spread about the colony by escaped convict George Clarke "The Barber" who claimed to have discovered a large river flowing to the north of Australia known by the Aboriginal name of Kindur. This expedition investigated the Namoi Gwydir and Barwon rivers but failed to prove or disprove the existence of the Kindur. The second and third expeditions were both aimed at fully determining the course of the Darling River extending on Sturt's earlier discoveries. Despite meeting hostilities with local Aboriginal tribes resulting in a retreat to Sydney and dismissing Burke's specific instructions regarding the Darling Mitchell went on to make a discovery of the greatest importance: the rich lands of western Victoria which he named Australia Felix in 1836. As well as being a fine surveyor Mitchell was an accomplished draughtsman and the plates in the book are all after his own drawings. This is the second edition revised and extended from the first publication the previous year. Despite the huge European interest in Australian exploration reflected in the number of titles published in London mid-century only Mitchell's and Sturt's journals would run into second editions. .

Folio bound in full black morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands gilt titles and elaborate pictorial gilt decorations to the front and rear panels engraved brass-mounted edges and double clasps to the front and rear panels chromolithographic vignette title page illustrated with 19 tinted lithograph plates including frontispiece of the meeting of Stanley and Livingstone map of Central and South Africa.

Scottish physician Congregationalist and pioneer Christian missionary and explorer of Africa David Livingstone was one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. Livingstone's fame as an explorer and his obsession with learning the sources of the Nile River was founded on the belief that if he could solve that age-old mystery his fame would give him the influence to end the East African Arab–Swahili slave trade. His subsequent exploration of the central African watershed was the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of Africa. At the same time his missionary travels "disappearance" and eventual death in Africa” led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa."

1838réf. 173536London: T. & W. Boone 1838. The deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west First edition of this illustrated account by the explorer who opened up the lush pastures of western Victoria to colonial settlement. His three daring expeditions added extensively to knowledge of Australia's inland waterways. This copy is from the collection of Jonathan Wantrup a leading bibliographer of Australiana with his book label on the front pastedowns. Appointed deputy surveyor-general of New South Wales in 1827 Mitchell 1792-1855 arrived in Sydney in September and began a six-year effort to produce a topographical map of the colony. His "Map of the Colony of New South Wales 1834 otherwise known as the 'map of the nineteen counties' has scarcely been equalled anywhere. It was perhaps Mitchell's greatest achievement. He determined too to extend his surveys outside the nineteen counties and though there are other reasons for his exploratory expeditions this was a major factor" ODNB. Mitchell's first expedition begun in late 1831 while his map was still in progress "explored between the Nammoi and the Gwydir and crossed the latter to strike the Barwon but there was no north-west river; all streams were clearly tributaries of the Darling. The murder by Aborigines of two of his party as they were bringing up provisions made a return to the settled colony imperative" ODNB and his party reached Sydney in February 1832. His second expedition undertaken three years later charted the course of the Darling to the point where it turned south establishing the likely region where it met the Murray. "Mitchell's third and most significant journey was undertaken ostensibly to connect the Murray with the Darling but also to explore the Murray and perhaps the country south of it. The expedition left Sydney in March 1836 and moved down the Lachlan. It was impossible to cross to the Darling so Mitchell proceeded to the Murrumbidgee and into the Murray following it down to what was thought to be the Darling junction. He traced the Darling upstream only sufficiently far to satisfy himself that it was in fact that river. Some 30 miles below the Goulburn river junction he turned off south-west. The region he then opened up he named Australia Felix now the western district of Victoria which certainly forms one of the richest tracts in Australia. At the Murray he found the country on the eve of being taken up by graziers and the deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west. This journey which lasted over seven months thus added greatly to the knowledge of a very fertile region of Australia" ODNB.

1848réf. 5001112London: Longman Brown Green and Longmans 1848. Octavo frontispiece 11 lithograph plates and seven maps four folding a very good copy complete with 24 pp. publisher's advertisements neatly recased in the original red cloth spine gilt the cloth in bright condition. First edition of Mitchell's account of his last expedition. In late 1845 with Edmund Kennedy as his second-in-command Mitchell set out from Sydney in search of an overland route to the Port Essington settlement. Although he did not find the hoped-for route over the next year he explored a vast area of unknown country in tropical Queensland returning to Sydney in December 1846. As with his earlier expeditions Mitchell showed contempt for official orders preferring instead to follow his instincts. In this instance he seemed more interested in discovering the fabled Kindur River one of his more enduring but erroneous beliefs. To justify his decision he here represented his discovery of the Victoria River which was in fact the Barcoo as the legendary great north-flowing source. Although Mitchell did not succeed in finding a northward route and - if anything - further confused the riddle of the inland rivers upon his return the expedition charted a vast area of previously unknown country without significant mishap or the loss of a single man. The fine tinted lithograph views in the books are all after Mitchell's own drawings. His work as a topographical artist has gained increasing respect in recent years and can be appreciated in the plates prepared for this book. It is characterised by a fine attention to detail and an accomplished use of tone and shading. An attractive copy in its original cloth binding. . Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans unknown

Joints a little worn some rubbing and soiling to cloth.Booksellers label from Melbourne. With a presentation inscription from Mitchell’s sister: ‘From the Author’s sister to Miss Hall with warmest wishes for her welfare’. Between 1831 and 1848 Mitchell made four major expeditions into the Australian interior. Mitchell's final year long expedition sought to solve once and for all the question of the drainage of North-Eastern Australia. He set out in December 1845 with Edmund Kennedy as second in command and proceeded north into tropical Queensland. He had hoped the Barcoo River what he called the Victoria would lead all the way to the Gulf of Carpentaria and thereby provide an overland route between Sydney and Port Essington on the Gulf of Carpentaria.

A fine letter expressing concern that money raised for his explorations in central Africa should be properly used: ".I am anxious for my own satisfaction and the information of those who may enquire to know when it is likely that young missionaries who are expected to commence the Zambesi mission will.take their departure from this country. Abundant funds having been furnished for all that is needed in the case and there being no obstacle in the path through the Cape Colony I should be glad to be assured before my departure that the intentions of your friends in subscribing so liberally are likely soon to be realized."

It is entered in Printing and the Mind of Man as one of the greatest and most important books ever penned. ".David Livingstone the Scottish medical missionary is known to history as the greatest explorer of his age and a dedicated humanitarian who devoted his life to the eradication of the African slave trade.
