Extracts from Dr. Winterbottorri 's Travels. 



It is nothing uncommon to find many of (lie black 

 nations upon the coast, strongly infected with the principles 

 of Mahommedanism, which they learn from the books and 

 practices of the Arabs, and as these persons profess some 

 degree of sanctity and learning, their example is much more 

 likely to draw them over than the boasted mercies of those 

 who hare triumphed too long in the reign of perfidy and 

 injustice. 



It is to be hoped a kappier sera will now arrive, when 

 a period of freedom, mercy, and discussion, will be held 

 out to the ignorant and superstitious African, and that a 

 communication, founded upon justice, shall enlighten all 

 the distant regions of the Atlantic.
