Overview

Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 5: September, 1829 Our friends in Lynchburg will, we hepe, do us the justice to believe, that our inability hitherto to receive emigrants from their immediate vicini ty, has been the cause of deep regret. It was the purpose of the Board to have given several coloured persons from Lynchburg a passage in the Harriet; but it was ascertained that a number ofapplicants nearer to Nor folk, and equally entitled to aid, were ready and waiting to embark; and that without great inconvenience, and perhaps delay, this purpose could not be fulfilled. In truth, if our friends will consider the difficulty of pro ceeding in such a way as to meet the views of all, when those seeking for a passage are so remote from each other, and the times when they can em bark are so various, and when so much depends upon circumstances which no sagacity can foresee, they will, we are confident, impute to other causes than neglect or inconsideration, the occasional disappointments to which applicants for emigration may be subjected. Of such disappointments, the chief cause is the want of adequate funds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
