Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life, Labours, Perilous Adventures, and Discoveries of Dr. Livingstone: Nearly Thirty Years a Missionary Explorer in the Wilds of Africa, With a Thrilling Account of His Resurrection
While expressing a hope that it will prove satisfactory to the admirers of Dr. Livingstone, and especially to those who are warm advocates of Missionary operations, and friends of the African race, we would also ask for a kindly and can did judgment of our difficult labours. In many instances, it was not easy to realize the scenes and circumstances of Dr. Livingstone's adventurous journeys, with the slight assistance which was afforded by the documents which had been made public, or to which access could be had with sufficient facility and we have had, therefore, to draw somewhat upon other and independent sources, to give the narrative proper coherency, and to convey to the~mind of the reader a clear impression of our traveller's labours and perils in the cause of Christian civilization, and present to them a true picture of the wild regions he explored, and of their savage, yet, in many instances, friendly, generous, and hospitable people.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the extraordinary life and missionary work of Dr. David Livingstone in 19th-century Africa. It narrates his remarkable journey across the Kalahari Desert to find Lake Ngami, revealing his dedication to exploring the unexplored and his passion for sharing the message of Christianity with isolated communities. The author, using Livingstone's letters and journals, weaves the tale of his adventures and hardships, providing insights into the complex political and social landscape of the time.

Ultimately, Livingstone's legacy lies in his pioneering spirit, his commitment to scientific inquiry, and his unwavering belief in the power of human connection.
