Recensione

The production of this manuscript came as a great surprise to me. I had thought that practically all of the letters of Livingstone had either been published in the various collections or cited by one or more of the many Livingstone biographers.... it has much of value to the students of his life. - Donald Simpson in AFRICAN AFFAIRS
This volume, which has been very well edited, and annotated by Timothy Holmes, and beautifully produced by James Currey, prints about 140 of the two thousand or so letters which survive world-wide. - Hugh Macmillan in THE JOURNAL OF SOUTHEN AFRICAN STUDIES
L'ensemble constitue un ouvrage de grande qualite dont la richesse et la consultation aisee seduiront tant l'amateur que le specialiste. - Patrick Videcoq in REVUE FRANCAISE D'HISTOIRE D'OUTRE-MER
