This is a Gale article by George Laughton (an English minister) and it is set in 2188 BC. In his article, Laughton explores Africa (Egypt in particular) from a biblical and Christian perspective.

He is again drawn to their agricultural practices and natural environment as a whole.

Laughton also dives into wanting to understand the Egyptian`s ways of thinking by closely observing their way of life and interaction.

Thus showing that he would do almost anything (even selling his own people0 for the sake of gaining recognition, validation and trust from the white man (Livingstone).
