INTKODUCTION. 



"1 /TANY friends on whom I can well rely have urged 

 -L'-"~ the publication of Dr Livingstone's Cambridge 

 Lectures; which on comparison with his large work 1 , 

 will be found to be, in reality, a valuable epitome of its 

 most striking features and details; but such an one as 

 rather increases than lessens the desire for reading that 

 book. 



Several points of great interest belong to these ad- 

 dresses, as well as to their publication and perusal ; these 

 chiefly being, the value and newness of their contents, 

 the simple earnestness of their style, and especially the 

 devoted Missionary tone pervading them. True piety 

 dictated their delivery, and brightens their perma- 

 nent embodiment in printed words. Moreover, many 

 persons who saw, heard, and conversed with the lecturer 

 himself, will like to possess such a memorial of a visit, 

 which, regarded in all its bearings, we may hope will be 

 productive of lasting good.
