Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Religion and Education in America: With Notices of the State and Prospects of American Unitarianism, Popery, and African Colonization
The main object I had in view in visiting the United States of America was different, perhaps, from that of every other European who had previously crossed the Atlantic. It was to endeavour to interest the American Presbyterian Church, of whose character and zeal I had long entertained a favourable opinion, in the diffusion of Christian knowledge, and the blessings of civilization in the southern hemisphere; but more especially in those parts of that hemisphere in which a series of British colonies has recently been successfully planted, at the ends of the earth - I mean the continent of New Holland, and the adjacent islands.
