LIVINGSTONE, DAVID, LL.D. (ante). When left by Mr. Stanley at Unyanyernbe in Mar., 1872, it was his intention to remain in Africa only about a year longer, and then to return to England for permanent residence. In the following Aug., having received men and supplies from Zanzibar, be led an expedition toward the e. side of lake Bangweolo and the supposed sources of the sti.earns which form the Lualaba. Front this thue no news of his explorations was received from his own baud, and accu rate details of this last journey are entirely wanting. An expedition, under the auspices of the royal geographical Society, and commanded by lieut. Cameron, was sent to the relief of the explorer early in 1873. Leaving Zanzibar on Mar. 18, this relief-party began its quest. Having reached Unyanyenthe in Aug., lieut. Cameron first heard of Livingstone's death. On Oct. 16 the intelligence was confirmed by the arrival there of a body of natives bearing the remains of the explorer, and bringino. a letter from his negro servant, Wainwright. It appeared that the explorer, after eridnring great hard ships, had been attacked with dysentery, front which he died after a fortnight's illness.
The party in charge of his remains encountered great difficulties and endured much suffering, but by the aid of lieut. Camerou they succeeded in 'reaching the coast. The Last Journals of David Livingstone, including h?.9 WandePings and Discoveries in Eastern Africa from. 1865 to within a few days of his Death, in 2 vols., edited by the Rev.

C.L.; chiefly from his Unpublished Journals and Correspondence in the Possession of his Family; by William Garden Blade, D.D., LL.D., was published in London in 1879.
