It will be long [since] any one man will be able to open so large an extent of unknown land to civilised mankind. Sir H Bartle Frere, President of Royal Geographical Society, giving an obituary notice of David Livingstone at the Anniversary Meeting on 22 June 1874 In the course of his wonderful career, Livingstone served three masters. As a missionary he was the sincere...servant of God. As an explorer he was the servant of science. As a denouncer of the slave trade he was the fiery servant of humanity. Earl Curzon, President of the Royal Geographical Society, opening a meeting to mark the centenary of Livingstones birth, March 1913. When we look back upon the nineteenth centurywe see that it was an age of great men. Foremost among them we see the historic virtues of their age epitomised in David Livingstone to whose immortal memory we meet today to honour. It can be said that Livingstone unlocked the door of the African continent and opened a new page in its historyBy penetrating the almost limitless and then unknown land of Central Africa, he brought the word of God to the African people; he opened the way to trade and to the civilising influence which followed it. Secretary of State for the Colonies, Oliver Lyttelton, unveiling a statue of David Livingstone at the Royal Geographical Society in 1953. (Its still there today)! Just as Livingstones followers disagreed over the best way to continue his work, so too have historians have continued to argue right up to the present day over whether Livingstone was really a missionary, really a geographer or really an imperial pioneer. The enduring power of the Livingstone myth lies in its appeal to all these different interests.
