Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trading Life in Western in Central Africa
Tnls Book is not a record of wonderful explorations. It is simply the experience of frequent travel and residence upon the West Coast of Africa, between the years 1853 and 1875.
In the first place, the contents were written in the form of friendly letters without any literary pretence, and were thus published weekly in the porcupine. And then I thought I had done with them. But so many readers, in various parts of the world, (some of whom had only seen a letter occasionally, ) requested the whole to be re-printed, that I was induced to yield to their desire. And have, therefore, revised the letters, and now respectfully submit them to the public.
