source totally inacessible to the general reader. The narrative is supple- 

 mented by details of the Livingstone Relief Expeditions under Mr. Stanley, 

 Mr. Young, and Lieutenant Cameron ; a brief memoir of Mr. Stanley, with a 

 full account of his explorations into the heart of Central Africa, under the 

 auspices of the " New York Herald " and the London " Daily Telegraph ;" a 

 sketch of Cameron's journey across the African Continent from the East to 

 the West Coast ; and a record of the establishment of the great Missionary 

 Settlements on Lakes Nyassa, Tanganyika, and Nyanza. The founding of 

 these Institutions may be regarded as the appropriate fruit of Livingstone's 

 labours — the fitting crown of his heroic and glorious career. 



In the companion volume to this " Life of Livingstone" will be found a 

 complete history of African discovery, from the earliest period down to the 

 researches and explorations of the illustrious travellers of this nineteenth 

 century. The possessor of these two volumes will know all that is necessary 

 to a general reader, of the vast continent which is destined to play so import- 

 ant a part in the future history of the world.
