Abstract
IT certainly is to be regretted that the information received from Dr. Livingstone should be so imperfect. Still, though insufficient in itself, perhaps, to warrant our arriving at any positive conclusion respecting his claim to have discovered the chief sources of the Nile, the information furnished by him affords material aid towards the solution of that great problem of African geography, and is generally of much greater value, in my estimation, than it would appear to be in that of your learned correspondent “F.R.G.S.”
