Missionary Travels And Researches In South Africa; Including A Sketch of Sixteen Years' Residence In The Interior Of Africa, And A Journey From The Cape Of Good Hope To Loanda on the West Coast; Thence Across The Continent, Down The River Zambesi, To The Eastern Ocean.

David Livingstone [1813-1873] Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa. Livingstone set off from Cape Town in 1852 working his way north where he was cordially received by Sekeletu and his people in the Makololo. Men were selected by Sekeletu to accompany Livingstone with a view to open up a trade route between their own country and the west coast. Livingstone was plagued by fever, semi-starvation and dysentery. From Loanda he sent his astronomical observations to Sir Thomas Maclear at the Cape and an account of his journey to the Royal Geographical Society. He reached Lake Dilolo in 1855 and made a careful study of the hydrography of the country. The route to the west proved unavailable and Livingstone opted to follow the Zambezi to its mouth. He discovered the famous "Victoria" falls of the Zambezi and completed a 2 1/2 year journey. "The results in geography and in natural science in all its departments were abundant and accurate; his observations necessitated a reconstruction of the map of Central Africa. When Livingstone began his work in Africa the map was a blank from Kuruman to Timbuktu, and nothing by envy or ignorance can throw any doubt on the originality of his discoveries." (11th Brit).
