Synopsis
Excerpt from Impressions of Western Africa, 1858: With Remarks on the Diseases of the Climate and a Report on the Peculiarities of Trade Up the Rivers in the Bight of Biafra
The commerce of Africa, like the intelligence of its people, is yet in a condition little better than that of helpless infancy. I do not entertain as great hope respecting the hereafter of this country, from its ivory.

Impressions of Western Africa, 1858 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the author's years spent in West Africa during the 1850s, and a narrative of the author's voyages along the coast in his role as a consular official. Throughout, the author presents vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Africa and its peoples, woven together with the author's humanitarian concerns for the condition of the people and political observations regarding European powers' involvement in the region. The book details the author's challenging and often dangerous experiences, and his firsthand accounts of the slave trade are a sobering reminder of the grim realities of the era. A chronicle of exploration, a searing indictment of man's inhumanity to man, and a deeply moving account of one man's commitment to social justice, this is a book that ensures readers will never forget its heartrending and historically significant insights into one of the darkest periods of African history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330201251_0
