Think of it like this!.!.!.!.!.Doctor David Livingston the missionary explorer was the only WHITE man then known to be in what was called Darkest Africa (still largely unexplored)!. So, along comes Stanley and when he meets Livingstone uttered the now famous line, "Doctor Livingstone I presume"!.

Could not possibly be any one else!. Bear in mind also that Stanley was a journalist, so he probably did say what then became the most famous 'chat-up' line in history, as it were!.

While you're at it, please understand that Henry Stanley's journey went through more uncharted and dangerous territory than Livingstone, Burton, or Speke, and it did it faster!. And although he was as much an egotist as Burton and Speke, he did it all to get a newspaper story!.!.!.

And as such, I wouldn't be surprised if the statement was carefully edited!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
