INTRODUCTION. xi 



Gospel in Foreign Parts, — of the Church and London 

 Missionary Societies for information given, — I return my 

 most grateful thanks. 



I herein also acknowledge the kind courtesy of the 

 editor and reporters of the Cambridge Chronicle, for 

 the trouble and interest which they have taken in 

 order to secure accurate and extended reports of these 

 lectures, which have been further corrected and en- 

 larged by Dr Livingstone himself, and by reference 

 to the report of the Independent Press, as well as by 

 comparison with the corresponding passages in the book 

 of travels. To the editor and reporters of the latter paper 

 I have also to return thanks for readily endeavouring to 

 secure careful reports. 



The portrait and small map are the production of Mr 

 Vinter, of London, an artist eminent in his profession; 

 the portrait 1 is based on the photograph taken by Mr 

 Monson, of Cambridge, modified by a sitting given to 

 Mr Vinter by Dr Livingstone. 



In explanation of the long delay which has occurred 

 in publishing this book, I have to state that this has been 

 somewhat caused by the every day interruptions insepa- 

 rable from a clergyman's life in a large parish in a populous 

 town ; and by the close perusal of several books, and of the 



1 Copies of this portrait, published by Mr Wallis, Sidney Street, 

 Cambridge, can be obtained on India paper, 4to imperial, for framing, 

 at a small price ; the profits of this also will be devoted to the before- 

 mentioned objects.
