About this Item
Description:
First American edition. Illustrated with 36 fine cuts throughout, many of which are full page, the frontispiece being double-page plate of the Falls at Zambesi, large folding map at rear with expedition routes in red. Tall 8vo, in the publisher's original green cloth, more rare than the brown cloth bindings, lettered on the spine in gilt. xxii, 638pp., [6pp. ads]. A fine, handsome and well preserved copy, internally very clean, the folding map near pristine, the binding solid and very well preserved with barely any wear or rubbing at all, the green very slightly mellowed at the spine. SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. The American issue is rarer then the English and the green cloth, though not unseen, is rarer still. "Dr. David Livingstone, the Scottish medical missionary, is known to history as the greatest explorer of his age and a dedicated humanitarian who devoted his life to the eradication of the African slave trade. He was a national hero to his contemporaries and time has confirmed his reputation as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the eminent Victorians, both in his achievement and in his influence." This is the scarce account of Livingstone's second expedition. "Other explorers we have had whose fame rose as high, but it lasted only for a few years. The influences of Dr. Livingstone's life-work, on the other hand, are so far- reaching that his fame is above the passing feelings of the time.". Seller Inventory # 28269

Reprint. Octavo (23cm). Brown cloth stamped in gilt and blind; brown endpapers; [xvi],608,20pp; 20-page publisher's catalogue at rear; folding frontispiece, folding map at rear with routes traced in red, black and white illustrations. Rubbed, lightly sunned at spine, front hinge cracked through: Good only. An account of the Livingstone brothers' exploration of the Zambesi river, based heavily on Charles' journals. The expedition was highly expensive, resulted in multiple deaths, yielded relatively little new geographical or scientific information, and David Livingstone's "plans to check the slave trade had come to nothing" (ODNB). Livingstone's activism after his journey did result in the creation of the UMCA. Despite the 1865 date on the title page, this copy is clearly a much later issue from the original publisher, as demonstrated by the 1877 publisher's catalogue and the presence of blind- rather than gilt stamping on the front board (first edition copies were stamped in gilt).
