Description
I N the year 1791, a settlement was formed at Sierra Leone, on the Coast of Africa, in lat. 8 deg. 12 mm. North, from the purest motives of humanity, under the patronage of a very respectable society in Lon don. The benevolent purposes, for which it is in tended, are to introduce the light of knowledge, and the comforts of civilization among a people who have hitherto been treated With a brutality disgrace ful to our national character.
That the most complete success may attend this benevolent establishment, every generous mind will breathe a prayer, and wish that it may be the happy means of alleviating the horrors of the slave trade, and of ultimately putting an end to. Such a nefarious commerce.
