LIVINGSTONE. THE FINDING OF LIVINGSTONE BY H. M. STANLEY, Special Commissioner of the New York Herald. With the full text of Mr. Stanley’s graphic and very interesting Despatches, now first printed in this Country, and the whole of Dr. Livingstone’s Despatches and Letters to the Government. With numerous full-page Illustrations and Portraits. 8vo, 350 pages, cloth gilt, 5s.
“Letters like these reveal the man more than books which are composed in comfort and peace of mind after a return home.”—Times, Aug. 12.
⁂ It was thought that a graphic account of the discovery of Livingstone, in Mr. Stanley’s own words, and offered at a low price, with admirable Illustrations, would be acceptable to those readers who have not a guinea to spare.
HENRY M. STANLEY: The Story of his Life; from his Birth, in 1841, to his Discovery of Livingstone, in 1871. With Portraits, Views of his Birth-place and School; Facsimiles of Handwriting, &c. By Cadwalader Rowlands. 8vo, 12 Illustrations, cloth gilt, 5s.
“We desire to do honour to his energy, courage, and pluck.”—Sir Henry Rawlinson.
Notice.—This work answers the question which has been in everybody’s mouth for some time past. It gives interesting anecdotes of Stanley’s youth and early adventures; also gives a graphic account of a previous expedition successfully undertaken by him—an expedition attended with so many dangers that a United States Minister declared “his search after Livingstone to be a safe trip compared with it.”
