Synopsis
Excerpt from Continuation of the Appendix to the Second Report of the Committee on African Instruction, 1824
Bear with my having said thus much on the subject, when, perhaps, other information ought to have preceded; but every thing I see here, or in the Gambia, as to school instruction, confirms the sentiment, that the most facile means of instruction, in letters, to all, must, in the first instance, be the medium of their own native language. Ann Thompson is now teaching J aloof and English in the Gambia; and although we are fully satisfied she is going on diligently and well, we know that the accounts of her success, which we re ceive from a merchant here, must be exaggerated. She is in much esteem among the people there; and those who have children under her care, will much regret when she leaves them. Sandanee has a great wish to have a J aloof and Eng lish school in the Gambia; (at Bathurst;) and if we should conclude it best, for the present, to fix him there, it will be only conditionally, until we can hear from the Committee.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book gathers letters, reports and extracts from journals and diaries by Hannah Kilham and John Thomson, two Quaker missionaries who travelled to Africa in the 1820s. The book is a detailed account of their experiences living and working among African communities in some of the first British colonies on the continent, from Sierra Leone and The Gambia, to villages in the mountains and up the rivers. The book explores the complicated social and political realities of European colonisation, the slave trade and the lives of newly freed Africans. Through their intimate portrayal of the people they met, and their insightful observations on African society, culture and customs, the authors share their hopes for a new, more equal relationship between Africans and Europeans on the continent.
