NOTICE. 



Messrs. Haepeb & Beotueus take this opportunity of cauti-oning the public 

 against several spurioue publications, which, by ai'tful advertisements, are made 

 to appear as though emanating from Dr. Livingstone. Tliey are authorised to 

 say that Dr. Livingstone repudiates them entirely, and "u-ishes it to be genei'ally 

 known that the present work is the only authentic narrative of his Adventures 

 arid Travels in Africa. 



A book ■which, before it has been ten days in the bands of the public, will 

 have been perused by perhaps 30,000 readers — a book second only to Lord Mac- 

 aulay's History of England in the inordinate extent of its circulation. No won- 

 der — it addresses itself to large and numerous classes — the great religious world, 

 the commercial world, the scientific. — Literaiij Gazette. 



The book is one of the most captivating description ; in style simple, clear, and 

 graphic, and in matter such as no other living traveler's experience could afford. 

 From the beginning to the end of the volume there is not a page that does not 

 compel the attention, not a page that does not offer something novel. It is a 

 wonder-book all through. — i\''. Y. Conner and Enquirer. 



This remarkable narrative, distinguished throughout by the modesty charac- 

 teristic of true merit. Clear, concise, unaffected, and fluent, it charms the read- 

 er, and bears him along in-esistibly, securing his attention from first to last. — 

 Js\ Y. Cmmnercial Advertiser. 



At once scientitic, literary, and religions, it deseiTes to be read and studied by 

 all classes. — Boston Post. 



A new chapter in the history of the world. — Boston Leader. 



Since the days of Mandevillc, lilarco Polo, and Captain Cooke, no one person 

 has traversed a more extended theatre of travel, or added more to the great dis- 

 coveries of the world than Dr. Livingstone. The work combines the dignity of 

 scientific research with thrilling narratives of personal adventure.— i?iW)7?iO?ui 

 Enquirer. 



The African Columbus has broken the egg, and let the world into his secret. 

 "V\'hat he has achieved, and endured, and conquered; the witchcraft which, for 

 sixteen years, he has used against a vertical sun and a malign climate— how he 

 has run the gauntlet of carnivores and pachydor-ms, and ophidia— how he has 

 lived on roots, and locusts, and frogs, and moistened his mouth only with rain 

 or river water— how he has striven with thirst and fever, with the loss of letters 

 and the absence of intelligent companionship- how he has sounded unknown 

 lakes, broken through thorny jungles, navigated unknown rivers, opened to hght 

 a world teeming with floral, animal, and mineral wonders— obtaining ingress for 

 science, for commerce, for religion— and leading after him, as the special spoils 

 of his expedition, a throng of colored indigeni, drawn along by no other fetters 

 save of love and admiration. So runs the stoiy of his book— a book not so much 

 of travel and adventure as, in its purport and spacious relation, a veritable poem. 

 — Athenreum. 



The book wiU be sought I"or and read with more eagerness than a romance.—
