Overview

Excerpt from Seven Years in Africa: Liberia as It Is Having resided nearly seven years in Liberia, engaged in the Missionary work, I have concluded to offer to the public the following account of the country, based upon my own personal observation and experience. I am the more con strained to do so, as I am continually being asked what kind of a country is the West African Republic. It is to be regretted that those who have hitherto published accounts of the country, have either possessed insufficient in formation, obtained by a flying visit along the coast (in most instances not spending a single night on shore for fear of contracting the fever), or have been influenced by a desire to promote emigration, to give a onesided and partial report of the land. The object of the following chapters is to give the reader a true and impartial account of the country as it is, which my seven years' residence abundantly enables me to do.
