Privately printed for very limited distribution by the author
Part of a collection of one manuscript and eleven privately printed lectures and addresses by Stanley, some with annotations, together with other material all formerly in the possession of Lady Dorothy Stanley
Biographical note (applying to all items in M184): Although "never published" it would seem that Stanley had his lectures printed for three reasons, ease of delivery, to register copyright (some of the above are "Entered at Stationers' Hall"), and to enable him to present a copy to hosts. However, the number that were printed must have been very small and they are excessively rare
Also used as material for Chapter XIII of Stanley's Autobiography, according to the Royal Museum for Central Africa's online Inventory of the Henry M. Stanley Archives
