Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1876, Vol. 28 of 58
Xvhat curse lies so heavily upon Africa? It is the infer nal traffic in slaves. Nothing would be easier than to suppress this infamous traffic were the European powers in earnest. Every European government knows that the slave-trade is carried on to an immense extent in Upper Egypt, and that the Red Sea is the great Slave Lake by which these unfortunate creatures are trans ported to Arabia and Suez. All idea of commerce, improve ment, and the advancement of the African race, must be discarded until the trudie in slaves shall have ceased to exist.
