article, within the next twelve-month, with as much thoroughness as circumstances permitted in each case. The record, as put into final shape twenty-five years later, makes a book of 400 pages, the second volume of My Early Travels and Adventures. It is impossible even to epitomise briefly here the crowded and stirring narrative. The observer saw the brilliant pageant of the great flotilla moving for the first time in history from the Mediterranean Sea, through the Suez Canal, to the Indian Ocean. Stanley was present at the ceremony of blessing the Suez Canal. On the following day, the 17th November, 1869, he was to see a new route to commerce opened. The Empress Eugenie, the Emperor of Austria, the Crown Prince of Prussia, and many notabilities had arrived. A beautiful morning ushered in the greatest drama ever witnessed or enacted in Egypt. It is the greatest and last, so far, of all the magnificent periods which Egypt has witnessed. At eight o'clock in the morning,

r enacted in Egypt. It is the greatest and last, so far, of all the magnificent periods which Egypt has witnessed. At eight o'clock in the morning, the Empress's yacht led the procession through the Canal, and Stanley followed, in the steamer Europe. He next went up the Nile, to Upper Egypt, as one of a party of seventy invited guests of the Khedive; twenty-three days of most exquisite pleasure, unmarred by a single adverse incident. The next part of his programme was to visit Jerusalearbarism and feudality, which terms are almost synonymous, as witness the mountain towers and fortresses, once the terror of the country, now silent and crumbling. Tiflis affords as much amusement and comfort as any second-rate town or city in Europe. From his Journal are here given one or two passages, to illustrate how Stanley observed and judged the individuals of his own race and civilisation. February 5th, 1870.

casion, he hurried from Madrid in search of the rebellious Carlists, who were said to have risen at Santa Cruz de Campescu. As soon as I reached the old town of Vittoria, I took my seat in the diligence for Santa Cruz de Campescu; our road lay westward towards the Atlantic through the valley of Zadora. If you have read Napier's Battles of the Peninsula, you can well imagine how interesting each spot, each foot of ground, was to me. This valley was a battle-field, where the armed legions of Portugal, Spain, and England, matched themselves against Joseph Buonaparte's French Army. At Santa Cruz, Stanley found the insurrectionists had fled to the mountains, leaving forty prisoners; he returned to Madrid, to join General Sickles and his suite, on a visit to the Palace of La Granja, called the Cloud Palace of the King of Spain. He hears in Madrid, one evening, that several battalions and regiments had been despatched towards Saragossa. Naturally I wanted to know what was going on the

But he has barely inter-viewed General Prim, when he is ordered to London; there the Herald's agent, Colonel Finlay Anderson, gives him a surprising commission. It is vaguely reported that Dr. Livingstone is on his way home-ward from Africa. On the chance of meeting him, and getting the first intelligence, Stanley d thoughts. In the interval, books come handy. I have picked up Helvetius and Zimmerman, in Alexandria, and, though there is much wisdom in them, they are ill-suited to young men with a craze for action. And now he is back at headquarters in London, and gets his orders for Spain; and there he spends six months, March to September, 1869, describing various scenes of the revolution, and the general aspect of the country, in a graphic record. These letters are among the best of his descriptiv

It looks like a wild-goose chase, but his, not to make reply; his, not to reason why ; and he is off to Aden, which he reaches November 21, 1868. Not a word can he learn of Livingstone. He writes enquiries to Consul Webb at Zanzibar, and, in the wretched and sun-scorched little town, sets himself to wait; but not in idleness. He works the Magdala campaign into bopped up since I had entered the Army [i. e., during the Civil War]. And now, at last,--for Africa and Livingstone!

Still no news of Livingstone, and scant hope of any! Stanley critically examines Aden; notes its unfortified condition, its importance when once the Suez Canal is finished; and sketches its future possibilities as a great distributing centre, and the case of a cheap railway into the heart of Arabia. After ten weeks at Aden, February 1st, I am relieved, at last! And so he turns his back on Livingstone, who is still deep in the wilds of Africa. As he
