Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of Bishop Tozer: And His Sister Together With Some Other Records of the Universities' Mission From 1863 1873
HE Universities' Mission was founded in 1859, in answer to an appeal of Dr. Living stone to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge to send out men to civilize the region of Lake Nyasa, where the Slave trade was devastating the country. The first body of men, under the leadership of Bishop Mackenzie, sailed for Cape Town in October 1860, and made their way to the Zambezi. For more than a year no news whatever of their doings reached England, and when at last, in 1862, letters did arrive, they announced that the Bishop and three of his staff were dead.
