ef its greatest miserles ^ -war and slavery : but we avow , at the same time , that we have sufficient philanthropy to rejoice at the melioration of the condition of the unhappy negro , wheresoever
or by whomsoever begun and carried on . Whoever may be the instrument in this work , Providence is the primary Agent . The time may not be yet come for the deliverance of Africa ; but her deliverance is certain , and , if we may judge from appearances , rapidly approaching . We say this , J in defiance of the laugh of the worldlings because we are Chris ^ tians and believe it !
Throughout the Memoranda are interspersed severe strictures on the Sierra Leone Company , which , in the author ' s view , has done harm rather than good , and will help to perpetuate the slavery it wishes to abolish . The spot of the settlement is ilUdhosen ; the worst , indeed , on the African coast . The resources of the Company have been mis-spent ; all its measures have been inefficient . From so experienced a writer ,
this Company , whose motives and object are generous , will pot , we trust , refuse to take advice . No steps they can take will recover their property , so irrecoverably gone , but they may be prevailed on to forbear adding to the burfiens of the country , by taking annually , in the shape of charity , a portion ( God
knows , ill-spared i ) of its revenues , ia order to infuae life into an abortive project ! The Memoranda are written in aa easy and manly style * They are not so well arranged ^ probabl y ^ as they might have been , but a British naval officer may be well excused , in the
present times , for not aspiring to the summit-of literary excellence . They are entertaining and instructive ; and , which is better , their tendency is uniformly virtuous . They evince a spirit of exalted patriotism and humanity : the purest mind will iHLOt be sullied by perusing them .
