526 LIFE OF DA VI D LIVINGSTONE, LL.D. 



Subsequently there was laid over the grave of Dr. Livingstone a 

 large black marble tombstone, bearing the following inscription, in gold 

 letters : — 



Brought by faithful hands, 



Over land and sea, 



Here rests 



DAVID LIVINGSTONE, 



Missionary, Traveller, Philanthropist, 



Born March 19, 1813, 



At Blantyre, Lanarkshire, 



Died May 1, 1873, 



At Chittambo's Valley, Ilala. 



For thirty years his life was spent in an unwearied effort to evangelise the 



native races, to explore the undiscovered secrets, and abolish 



the desolating slave trade 



Of Central Africa, 



Where, with his last words, he wrote, 



"All I can do in my solitude is, May heaven's rich blessing come down on 

 every one — American, English, Turk — who will help to heal this open sore 

 of the world." 



On the right hand edge of the stone were the two following lines : — 



"Tantus amor veri — Nihil est quod moscere malim, 

 Quam Fluvii causas per scecula tanta latentes." 



And on the left hand edge the following text : — 



" Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, 

 They also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice."
