Mendelssohn (Sydney) South African Bibliography, volume 1, pages 912/13, notes that "These journals include a series of travels and scientific geographical records of the most extraordinary character....of seven years' continuous work and new discovery," in the course of which no break whatever occurs.from the time of Livingstones departure from Zanzibar in the beginning of 1866 to the day when his note-book dropped from his hand in the village of Ilala at the end of April 1873. .The last explorations were conducted in the vicinity of Lake Bangwelo, where, thoroughly broken down and worn out, the greatest traveller of modern times died on May 1, 1873, at Chitambo. His faithful servants, Susi, Chuma and Jacob Wainwright, preserved his body and papers, and brought them safely back to England, where his remains were interred in Westminster Abbey, on April 18, 1874.
