Appendix.--Book Review in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, February, 1858.

[This review is provided to allow the reader to view Livingstone's achievement as it was seen by a contemporary.--A. L., 1997.]

Livingstone's Travels in South Africa.*

* 'Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa'. By David Livingstone, LL.D., D.C.L. 1 vol. 8vo. With Maps and numerous Ill.u.s.trations. Harper and Brothers.

'Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa'. By Henry Barth, Ph.D., D.C.L. 3 vols. 8vo. With Map and numerous Ill.u.s.trations. Harper and Brothers.

These two works, each embodying the results of years of travel and research, entirely revolutionize all our theories as to the geographical and physical character of Central Africa. Instead of lofty mountains and sandy deserts, we have a wide basin, or rather series of basins, with lakes and great rivers, and a soil fertile even when compared with the abounding exuberance of our own Western valleys and prairies.
