Abstract
THE author of this volume tells the story of these three remarkable lives very pleasantly and instructively, more, however, from the religious than the scientific standpoint. A very fair account is given of the work accomplished by Livingstone in Africa, though the author does not seem to be quite aware of the value of the geographical work accomplished by Gordon on the Upper Nile.
