From the Introduction: "In the midst of the universal sorrow caused by the intelligence that Dr. Livingstone had lost is life at the farthest point to which he had penetrated in his search for the true sources of the Nile, a faint hope was indulged that some of his journals might survive the disaster: this hope, I rejoice to say, has been realized beyond the most sanguine expectations."

Within the 541 pages of text with its full page and inset illustrations lies the fascinating story of his exploration: elephants, warring natives, illness, earthquakes, birds flowers and fruits, and individual friends are all detailed for a clearer understanding of the Central Africa of the time.
