 of suffering to all concerned; but no one, I am sure, will wish that the 

 work had been left undone. The few great geographical problems in 

 Africa that Livingstone had to leave untouched, Stanley has solved. 

 Little remains for himself and others in the future beyond the filling in 

 of details; but these are all-important, and will keep the great army 

 of explorers busy for many years, if not for generations.
