Of particular interest and relevance to this listing is the research work conducted by the Bradlows on the numerous published variants of 'The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone' as well as the 1857 edition of 'Livingstone's Missionary travels and researches in South Africa', which gave rise to what are now known as the Bradlow Variants, as published in (Quarterly Bulletin of the South African Library, v.28, no.1, Sept. 1973, p.11-19) and (In Lloyd, B.W.
