"Dr. Livingstone is the most remarkable of all the travellers who have visited Africa. ... His great journey across the continent was almost entirely over gound hitherto untrodden by the foot of the white man. The information which he gives is therefore fresh, and, in many instances, refutes and explodes the theories of previous travellers - Preface." Full-page woodcuts.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
