6 PREFACE. 



volved in the question of African civilization, as far as these 



matters could be considered under the circumstances. 



If the reader gets a true and full conception of the work of 



Dr. Livingstone, catches anything of his manliness, love for 



men, and zeal for Christ, and becomes more deeply interested in 



the great enterprises on which the deliverance of the millions 



of that unhappy continent from the dominion of ignorance and 



superstition and vice depends, if he becomes only a little wiser, 



and stronger, and better, and nobler, through reading the book, 



I will be satisfied.
