Abstract
IN NATURE for Feb. 26, we expressed the desire which we felt, in common with our readers, for information respecting the orders that have been sent to Zanzibar as to the disposal of Dr. Livingstone's body. We now have great pleasure in being able to announce that Lord Derby acted with the promptitude and energy which might be expected from a statesman who has always shown a warm sympathy for the cause of geography. With the concurrence of the family, his Lordship has sent a telegram ordering the body of the illustrious traveller to be sent to England, and we believe that it is to be accompanied by one or two of Livingstone's faithful negro followers.
