Details

In the foreword, the writer refers to the antipathy at that time in the Netherlands against the 'Englishman', no doubt indicating the conflict between the Boers and the British colonial authority in Southern Africa that led to the so-called n. Second Boer War (1899-1902). The sympathy of the Netherlands, government and people went to the Boers. The writer presents Livingstone as a 'true Englishman' and, moreover, a Scot. 347 pages excluding 1 page index and a fold-out map of Livingstone's travels
