Year: 1872

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD


The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our CORE
pondent in the British capital


LONDON. July 4, 1872.


The city newspaper press, in its issue this
morning continues its editorial comments on
the subject of the New YORK HERALD's special
search for Livingstone and the success which
has attended the American enterprise in Africa
SURPRISING INTEREST OF THE HERALD's NEWS


The Morning Post says:-''Far surprising
everything of local import in interest just now
is the information afforded by the New YORK
HERALD to the London press of the discovery
of DR.. Livingstone Far surprising every
thing which has been hitherto achieved by
journalistic enterprise is the discovery Of the
great African explorer-concerning whose fate
the peoples Of every civilized State in the
world have been anxious for many years-by
the special correspondent of daily newspaper
commissioned to find him. We are accus-
toned to laugh on this side of the Atlantic at
the rage which prevails for knowledge of
what are classed as "big things among our
American hnsmen but it is not only with a
feeling of satisfaction, but also of kindred
pride, that we express our admiration of this
wonderful undertaking, which was conceived
and has been carried to such successful issue
by the proprietor of our New York contempo-
nary


PRESS ENTERPRISE


"While the governments says the Post
In conclusion -''were hesitating in their con-
sideration of the African search subject
generally, or absolutely refusing to afford
supplies to an English expedition, the pro-
prietor of the New York HERALD selected
gentleman eminently fitted to command such
an enterprise, commissioned him for its lead,
gave carte blanche as to cash expenditure, and
sent him into the unknown regions of Africa,
charging him to find Livingstone or bring
back authentic information as to his fate In
all this the HERALD and it's search commander
have been completely successful"
GREATER THAN THE NARRATIVES OF DE CANA,


CRUsoE AND MARCO POLO


The London Telegraph says :-"Yesterday
we, in company with the whole people of
Britain listened to the narration of the out
lines of tale describing the accomplishment
of work as daring in its execution as that of
Vasco de Gama as solitary in its accom-
paniment as that of Robinson Crusoe and
quite as romantic in its progress as that of
Marco Polo. The mind delights to realize,
even in imagination, the moment when the
gallant and indefatigable Stanley won his way
in front of his little band of follow
ers-making up in noise what it
lacked in numbers--to the outskirts
of Ujiji, and we must, all of us, envy
the republic of the United States the fact that
the American flag was carried proudly at the
head of his force in happy agreement, and that
under the banner of the Stars and Stripes he
afforded succor to the lonely Briton.''


CIVILIZATION ENLIGHTENED AND TOLL AND PERIL


REWARDED


The London Daily Neos says:-"The extra
ordinary narrative which has just been CON-
municated to the world by the New YORK
HERALD supplies one of the most exciting
stories which civilization has had since the
revelation of the startling truths of Bruce.
Mr.. Stanley gives to his collation. somewhat
picturesque coloring, but the grand
fact remains that he found Living
stone notwithstanding, and not, as
Sir Henry Rawlinson conjectured lately,
that Livingstone found Stanley. It is not
easy to imagine an enterprise more full of toll
and peril than thia afxa noo iourpov ~ tba
