''Across Africa: From Missionary Travels And Researches In South Africa'' is a book written by David Livingstone, a Scottish missionary and explorer who is best known for his travels in Africa. The book was originally published in 1857 and this particular edition was published in 1907. In the book, Livingstone recounts his travels and experiences in Africa, including his early years as a missionary in South Africa, his exploration of the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls, and his attempts to find the source of the Nile River. He also describes the people and cultures he encountered during his travels, and provides insights into the political and social conditions of the regions he visited.Livingstone’s writing is characterized by his deep empathy for the African people and his commitment to their welfare. He was a strong advocate for the abolition of the slave trade and worked tirelessly to promote commerce and trade in Africa as a means of improving the lives of its people. Overall, ''Across Africa'' is an important historical document that provides a firsthand account of a pivotal period in African history, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most influential explorers and missionaries of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
