Excerpt from Adventures and Observations on the West Coast of Africa, and Its Islands: Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Madeira, Canary, Biafra and Cape Verd Islands The chapters which form this volume were prepared originally for the Southern Christian Advocate, at the request of the Georgia Conference. Since their appearance in the Advocate, the author has been urged to publish them in book form by numerous friends and strangers, among Whom are the leading ministers Of his own denomination, distinguished clergymen Of other churches, and Officers Of the United States Navy, whose reputations give importance to their Opinions. If the author feels any reluctance in complying with these flattering solicitations, it is chiefly because the chapters were composed hastily, and the duties Of his profession will not allow Of his rewriting them. This scruple, however, is overcome by the assistance of a friend, who kindly suggests, that as the author has no literary reputation to lose, he risks nothing in publish ing without waiting for time to rewrite.
