| Description | Murchison correspondence: speech given by Richard OWEN at a dinner to honour David Livingstone, 13 Feb 1858.
The document appears to be a draft of the speech, perhaps sent to Murchison to look over. It commends Livingstone as a scientist as well as an explorer, particularly focusing on the descriptions of the behaviour of various animals given in his recently published book. |
