DEDICATION.
---
To those friends in America and in England who generously
contributed to the expense of the expedition, one of
the objects of which was to make the observations and obtain
the facts recorded in the following pages; but particularly to
BENJAMIN COATES, of Philadelphia, whose unremitting efforts
contributed in no small degree to the success of the enterprise,
and to HENRY CHRISTY, of London, to whom chiefly
the friends of Africa and the Negro are indebted for the cooperation
of the English people, this little narrative is respectfully
dedicated by
THE AUTHOR.
