Summary | "David Livingstone" by C. Silvester Horne is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and legacy of the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone, tracing his significant contributions to the exploration and understanding of Africa during the 19th century.

It details the historical backdrop of his birth in 1813, coinciding with pivotal events in Europe, particularly the Napoleonic Wars. The narrative emphasizes the influence of Livingstone’s early environment and family values, particularly the Christian virtues espoused by his parents, which shaped his character.
