LIVINGSTONE, David (1813-1873). Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa. London: John Murray, 1857.
8vo. With folding tinted lithographic frontispiece, engraved portrait, 22 wood-engraved plates, 2 tinted lithographs, one folding diagram, 2 folding engraved maps (one in rear cover pocket), and numerous illustrations. Original cloth (recased, repaired, endpapers renewed). Provenance: James Muzio (gift inscription, 1857); Jan Christian Smuts (1870-1950), South African statesman and military leader (gift inscription from "A. C." dated 11 March 1919). FIRST EDITION, second issue with tinted lithographs drawn on stone by T. Picken and published by Day & Son substituted for the folding wood-engraved frontispiece and the wood-engraved plates facing pages 66 and 225. Livingstone's first and most important major expedition in 1849-1856, during which he crossed the Kalahari Desert, discovered the source of the Upper Zambezi River in 1851, and in 1853-56 made the first west-east crossing of the continent, via the Zambezi, and discovered Victoria Falls. J. C. Smuts served as the prime minister or the Union of South Africa from 1919 until 1924 and again from 1939 until 1948. He lost the 1948 election to nationalists who institutionalized apartheid after he backed the Fagan Commission's findings that complete segregation would be impossible. Abbey Travel 347; Mendelssohn I, p. 908; PMM 341.
