. The story of Africa and its explorers. l Societys MapRoom, by several books andatlases of which he Avasauthor, and by eighteenmonths field labour on aGovernment Survey of Para-guay. In private life KeithJohnston Secundus, asLivingstone, who had a good opinion of thegeographical acumen displayed in his LakeRegions of Central Africa (1870), called him, was loved for his singular unselfishness, hisfirmness in what he considered duty, andentire absence of anything like self-assertion.German thoroughness distinguished all hislabours, whether in the closet or in the field;while his well-knit frame and perfect healthseemed likely to bear him well through thetoils of an African journey. In 1871 he had, indeed, volunteered for the Livingstone ReliefExpedition of that year (Vol. 11, p. 263), and high hopes were entertained of hisfuture career as an explorer. His com-panion, Mr. Joseph Thomson (p. 285), wasin the still happier condition of having all theworld before him. A native of Thornhill, inDumfriesshire^ he was a mere youth when he. KEITH JOHNSTON. (From a Photograph by C. Henvjood, Chisvjick.) was accepted as Mr. Johnstons assistant;but, as the young Scotsmans later career asan African traveller proved, the right mangenerally appears when he is wanted. In thiscase, the countryman of Mungo Park and ofLivingstone was, in spite of the doubts ex-pressed at the time, admirably fitted for theduties he had undertaken.- In the Universityof Edinburgh he had acquired a sufficientacquaintance with geology and other sciences, and what he lacked in experience was amjDlycompensated for by an equable temper and arobustness which it tookmany a year of Africanswamps to shake. When tothis was added a nativeshrewdness, in which thesuavifer in modo was alwaysat the right time admirablytempered by the fortiter in.re, little was lacking to makeup the ideal explorer heafterwards became.
