[Rarebooks] FS: Dr. Livingstone's 17 Years' Exlporations & Adventures in the Wilds of Africa, 1857

[Charles Agvent]

(LIVINGSTONE,  David)    COOMBS, John Hartley.    DR. LIVINGSTONE'S 17
YEARS'    EXPLORATIONS  AND  ADVENTURES  IN   THE  WILDS  OF   AFRICA.
Philadelphia:  J. T.  Lloyd  1857.  First  Edition.  Octavo.  334  pp.
Original  black  cloth;  illustrated with a folding  map  and  plates.
Since  the  preface  is  dated from London, we assume  that  this  was
published  there prior to the American edition.  The editor claims  to
have  published  this  book  because Livingstone  has,  "in  the  most
unequivocal  manner,  expressed  a determination not to give,  at  the
present  time,  any  written account of his African  researches,  from
under his own hand."  An uncommon book. Tear to folding map.  Moderate
foxing throughout.  Only light wear.  Nice copy.               $200.00
