They wanted to something about the geography OF

then sat down very tamely indeed.
They had notified me" Would you De kind enough 10
come down Mr. Stanley and deliver an address about
your discoveries" thought it rather cool de-
mand to ask a who had spent Tor his employer
$4,000 TO him f he would have the goodness TO tell
them about his discoveries"
But IL was astonshed when went to Brighton, /
was more astonished after sitting down TO find that
was not going to get any thanks at all. But no. We
have none spare you, my dear sir We wish YOU were

"WeT. YOU know Col. Grant, tho companion OF Spoke
(of course quite authority in geography con
corning Central Ainca). lie said 'Ah, you all tax
about Livingstone. We gods! this man is dreaming;
he is thousand miles ont Of his reckoning He knows
nothing bout what he SAYS"
was rather astonished that traveller ehould have
criticized another in such language. Livingstone says
he has Goras in longitude 10 east Col Grant,
who only so east ait cannot be that he saw

and he has range Of mountains stretching do me-
know how lar how wide and dividing two different
rivers one OF which is the Nile. Therefore the other

That gentleman also sat down leaving me consd ably

Mr. Rawnson had told me just before the lecture that
he was an ardent supporter Of the theory that fresh
water lakes must have outlets. O,her gentlemen with
many titles 10 their names, said

we admire the grandeur Of his character, the tenac

think Just now that these gentlemen rather sorry

which prompted all these unkiud criticisms.
