Stanley the Explorer
Although the fever of African exploration did not seize upon Henry M. Stanley until after he found Livingstone, when the example set by the latter fired the Welshman's ambitions there can be little doubt that Stanley was a born explorer. Otherwise he would scarcely have been able to accomplish those arduous journeys which enabled him to fill up an enormous blank in the map of Africa. Stanley's discoveries were of the greatest political importance and led to the founding, among other things, of what is now the Congo Free State. His ultimate discovery of Emin Pasha furnished a magnificent illustration of Stanley's indomitable courage and perseverance.-London Mail
