Group of Wanyamwezi, 1872. Nyamwezi, or Wanyamwezi, people, one of the Bantu groups of East Africa. 'The new book which has been most eagerly expected during the last three months is Mr. H. M. Stanley's narrative of his successful expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone, accompanied by descriptions both of the country traversed by Mr. Stanely himself, as far as the shores of Lake Tanganyika, and of the regions beyond, in the remoter interior of the African Continent, explored by Dr. Livingstone, who has, as he testifies in a letter to his daughter, furnished Mr. Stanley with some materials for this part of the work. Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston, and Searle, of Fleet-street, announce for this day the volume, which is a substantial octavo, of 736 pages, inclusive of the appendix and index, bearing this title: "How I Found Livingstone; Travels, Adventures, and Discoveries in Central Africa; Including Four Months' Residence with Dr. Livingstone;" by Henry M. Stanley, Travelling Correspondent of the New York Herald. It is illustrated by six maps and plans, twenty-eight full page engravings on wood, and twenty-five smaller engravings'.
