SynopsisExcerpt from Livingston in Africa: His Explorations and Missionary Labors The pretensions of this little volume are not at all ambitious. Its aim is simply to recite the missionary travels of Rev. David Livingstone, LL, D., accomplished in South Africa, between the years 1840 and 1856, in smaller compass than the large narrative written by himself. The task was entered upon in the hope of bringing the noble work of that eminent Christian philanthropist to the attention of a class of readers who, for various reasons, may pass by the larger volume. All the material facts and incidents essential to a just idea of the country, the habits and character of the people, and the hardships and toil of the great traveler will be found here.
