Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life, Scenery and Customs in Sierra Leone and the Gambia, Vol. 2 of 2
One redeeming feature is, notwithstanding, per ceptible in its elements; and it is the strict regard which is almost universally paid to the Divine purposes of the Sabbath. And I am sorry to be obliged to admit that the exception, when made to this encouraging fact, is made by the European and not the Native: by those whose obligations and standing in society demand from them a better example. The general observance of Sunday, even in Freestown, would shame the metropolis of our own country. In the missionary and far distant villages and districts the Deity is more reverenced in this particular than in many places in England.
