Oxford DNB, Roberts, A.D., "David Livingstone". These are the final writings of David Livingstone, shortly before his death in 1873. He was seeking the source of the Lualaba, which he thought was the source of the Nile. Livingstone succumbed to his injuries and illnesses he suffered from his travels around equatorial Africa. While Livingstone was an advocate for native sovereignty and a firm abolitionist, historians argue that he renewed the justification for British imperialism on African lands. While Livingstone genuinely believed in spreading the Christian gospel, economic imperialists used this pretense to invade and control many parts of Africa. These journals are a record of Livingstone's final days, a first-hand account of travel around nineteenth-century central Africa, and one of the high spots of nineteenth-century African exploration. The leather mellowed in places, a very small dampspot on each rear board.
