The Personal Life of David Livingstone, written by William Garden Blaikie and published in 1881, is a biography of the famous Scottish explorer and missionary, David Livingstone. The book draws heavily on Livingstone's unpublished journals and correspondence, which were in the possession of his family at the time of writing. The biography covers Livingstone's life from his childhood in Scotland to his travels and explorations in Africa, where he became known for his efforts to abolish the slave trade and promote Christian missions. Blaikie provides insights into Livingstone's personal life, including his family relationships, his struggles with illness and loneliness, and his religious faith. The book also includes detailed descriptions of Livingstone's expeditions, including his discovery of Lake Ngami and his search for the source of the Nile River. Blaikie provides a vivid account of Livingstone's encounters with African tribes and his efforts to learn their customs and languages. Overall, The Personal Life of David Livingstone offers a comprehensive and intimate portrait of one of the most famous explorers and missionaries of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
