This Work

Is affectionately offered as a Token of Gratitude for the kind interest he las always taken in the Author's pursuits and welfare; and to express admiration of his eminent scientific attainments, nowhere more strongly evidenced than by the striking hypothesis respecting the physical conformation of the African continent, promulgated in his Presidential Address to the Royal Geographical Society in 1852, and verified three years afterwards by the Author of these Travels.

London, Oct. 1857.

DAVID LIVINGSTONE.
