David Livingstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia David Livingstone (19 March 1813– 1 May 1873) was a Scottish medical missionary and explorer of the Victorian era, now best remembered because of his meeting with Henry Morton Stanley which gave rise to the popular quotation, "Dr. Livingstone was born on 19th March 1813 in the village of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland and first studied Greek, medicine and theology at the University of Glasgow. Livingstone's wife Mary died on 29 April 1863 of dysentery, but Livingstone continued to explore, eventually returning home in 1864 after the government ordered the recall of the Expedition. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/David_Livingstone   (868 words)

DAVID LIVINGSTONE - LoveToKnow Article on DAVID LIVINGSTONE Livingstone was no hurried traveller; he did his journeying leisurely, carefully observing and recording all that was worthy of note, with rare geographical instinct and the eye of a trained scientific observer, studying the ways of the people, eating their food, living in their huts, and sympathizing with their joys and sorrows. Livingstone may now be said to have completed the first period of his career in Africa, the period in which the work of the missionary had the greatest prominence. David was the second child of his parents, Neil Livingston (for so he spelled his name; as did his son for many years) and Agnes Hunter. 72.1911encyclopedia.org /L/LI/LIVINGSTONE_DAVID.htm   (4523 words)

Livingstone, David, Southern Africa, Congregational When Livingstone and Venn began their work, a new consciousness of Africa was dawning in Britain, the first industrial nation, conscious as it was of a need for new raw materials and markets, and of a surplus population; but official policy recoiled from expensive commitments and acquisitions of territory overseas. Livingstone, like Venn, represents a sturdy, confident evangelicalism, secure in its place in national life, sure of its right and duty to influence public and government opinion, and, for all its emphasis on personal regeneration and personal religion, looking to the transformation of society as a normal fruit of Christian activity. David Livingston (the"e" was added later) was born in 1813 in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland. www.dacb.org /stories/southafrica/legacy_livingstone.html   (4088 words)
