stone, so far as it may DO known from exist
ing publications has bcen omitted, while the
strange wildness and productive wealth Of the
Country itself; his intercourse with and the
wierd peculiarities Of the still more strange
and surerstitious Savages who swarm in mil
lions upon its breast; the multifarious varie-
ties Of Wild Beasts; pestiferous insects and
deadly reptiles of which this vast country
seems the peculiar home, the marvellous forest
vegetation; the prospective stores Of Mineral
Wealth, being opened up, are all wildly pic
tured with . earefulness and e!carness which
will not be found in any other single week be-
fore the public.
The reader Of this book will closely follow
Dr.. Livingstone from the days Of his boyhood
wher he struggled so ,nanfu!iy with the diff
culties Of poverty and his humble sphere, step
by step through innumerablc hardships, wild
thrilling scenes Of danger, to the day when his
nation received his body back with sorrowing
gratitude, and the sympathics Of the civilized
world joined in reverence about his last rest
ing place. The narrative of this wonderful
it was spent so uobiy, arc brought out more
completely and clearly, because nc source has
been neglected whence clearer light nigh,
be thrown on them. The writer has labored
conscientious to make the work an anthem
tic Life OF the Man, and reliable history Of
the regions through which he passed.
Familiar as the world is with the name Of
Livingstone, it may be confidently asserted,
that the real majesty Of his character is ila-
perfectly appreciated. and his 1vrculeaa La
bcrs in the long hidden land where he wander
ed so many years and died at last, justides the
increasing reverence of his name.
The circumstances Of his first going to Az
rica-his labors as ,nissionery-the provi-
dence which drove him from his mission stn
ton across wil1ernesses and dcserts-which
I ime after time compelled him TO 60 forward,
and deeper and deeper into the heart Of the
country, until he made himself familiar with
all the tribes from the Cape to Ango!a-the
heroic resolution with which he turned his
back en- the ships at St. Paul do Loanla,
and plunged again into the wilderness, with
only the companionship of his Moko!ola at
tendants-the long journey across tho CONT
nent from West to acknowledgements which
placed him in the front rank Of explorers;
and guaranteed him a welcome III England,
attended with almost royal honors-the Fam
best Expedtion-distinguis shed by the NEST
unwearying dcvotions to Science, Commerce,
and Philanthrophy-an expedition as full Of
sorrow as Of toll; and the graphic story OF
those wanderings in which no was so long
lost to the world, in the very deepest seclu-
dismayed the wiscst and bravsst Of his pr edo.
ccssors- the marvellous disinterestcdness
with which he turned back again to his work
when he had been succored by Mr.. Stanley,
at Ujiji,--his sad, grand, lonely death, on his
knees in a rude ten. on the banks of tho NJ oil
lamo,--tho tenderness aud affection with
which his followers cared for the body Of tho
great, good man. and the patience and cour-
age with which they conveyed their precious
burden moro than thousand miles; across
trackless wilds, and through the midst Of xn-
friendly tribes, that they might lay it on thu
arms of his white brethren at Zanzibar, and
the arrival Of the almost sacred remains in
England; the Identification and burial; al
this wonderful history skillfully gathered up,
and presented to US in the beauty Of one SYM
mctrical whole by the pen ofa graphic writer,
makes a story surprising imagination in It's
wealth Of strange adventure, challenging CON-
parison in its display Of heroism. and CON-
msnding the reverence Of mankind, for the
Christlike philanthropy and unbounded zeal
Of it's Hero.
