Note 47 — A LECTURE ON AFRICAN MISSIONS.
Reading edition
Recent developments at Sierra Leone, have proved, beyond all question, that certain persons, in that English Colony, have long been secretly engaged in the slave-trade. There is reason to believe, however, that these wars have been excited by the English scheme of restocking their West India plantations by purchasing emigrants, at $10 per head, from the African chiefs. See the letter of President Roberts, on this subject, in Appendix.
