Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The West Indies, Enslaved and Free It is very pleasant for the genuine Christian philanthropist to notice the attention which has been paid of late years to the temporal and spiritual welfare of the once despised, enslaved, and downtrodden African race, both in their own home on the ´Dark Continent´ and in the lands of their exile. Having spent nearly fourteen years in the West Indies, at the most interesting and critical period of their history, whilst the poor negroes were still drinking the bitter cup of bondage, during the transition period called ´the apprenticeship,´ and for some time after the advent of entire freedom; and having kept a journal and made observations on passing events in the respective colonies in which he sojourned, the author has been induced to prepare for the press the present volume, descriptive of the country and the people and of the efforts which have been made to promote their improvement. This he has done, not merely to furnish interesting reading for those who delight in the study of history and in books of travels in foreign lands, but also to provide a useful handbook of information and reference for missionaries, merchants, travellers, and others, as well as with a view to excite a still deeper interest in the moral and social well being of a race of people to whom we are deeply indebted as a nation for the wrongs they have suffered at our hands in times past.
