The book also contains a biography, a letter from Adam Sedgwick (then Professor of Geology at Cambridge), and a thorough appendix covering the scientific results of the journey, describing the geography, mineralogy, diseases, and the language and cultural aspects of the peoples Livingstone encountered. Finally, Livingstone reports on the needs and prospects for further missionary work in Africa. Although Livingstone himself felt his calling was now to pursue purely scientific exploration, he hoped that the lectures and their subsequent publication would encourage other missionaries to continue his work of evangelisation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Life of Dr Livingstone\u003cbr\u003e Professor Sedgwick's prefatory letter\u003cbr\u003e Lecture 1\u003cbr\u003e Lecture 2\u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Church history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Church history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Church%20history%20%5BHRCC2%5D%22\"\u003eHRCC2\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006027452696,"sku":"9781108008273","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108008273i.jpg?v=1694867393","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dr-livingstones-cambridge-lectures-together-with-a-prefatory-letter-by-the-rev-professor-sedgwick-paperback-9781108008273","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
