The Spectator says:—“The volume is an excellent instance of miniature biography, for it gives us what we seek in such a book—a sketch of his deeds, but a picture of the man.... This excellent little book.”
The Scotsman says:—“The stirring story is narrated in terse and vivid language, and with remarkable completeness ... a better biographer than Mr. Hughes could not have been found for so excellent a type of the muscular Christian as Dr. Livingstone. He was a man, and his was a life after the biographer’s heart.”
