TO
THE RIGHT HON. LORD PALMERSTON,
K.G., G.O.B.
My L obd,
I beg leave to dedicate this Volume to your
Lordship, as a tribute justly due to the great Statesman who
has ever had at heart the amelioration of the African raoe;
and as a token of admiration of the beneficial effects of
that policy which he has so long laboured to establish on the
West Coast of Africa; and which, in improving that region,
has most forcibly shown the need of some similar system on
the opposite side of the Continent.
DAVID LIVINGSTONE.
