 Mr. Stanley, etc., etc. 



THE following description of Dr. Livingstone, as he appeared to Mr. 

 Stanley at Ujiji, has additional interest for us, now that its subject 

 has passed away to the land of shadows. He says : — " Upon my first in- 

 troduction to him, Livingstone was to me like a huge tome with a most 

 unpretending binding. "Within, the work might contain much valuable 

 lore and wisdom, but its exterior gave no promise of what was within. 

 Thus, outside Livingstone gave no token, except of being rudely dealt with 

 by the wilderness, of what elements of power or talent lay within. He

 might dispose a man well towards him. I had brought him a packet 

 of letters, and, though I urged him again and again to defer conversation 

 with me until he had read the news from home and children, he said he
