Excerpt from Four Years in Liberia: A Sketch of the Life of the Rev. Samuel Williams; With Remarks on the Missions, Manners and Customs of the Natives of Western Africa; Together With an Answer to Nesbit's Book I have read over the following pages, (with the ekcep tion of the Answer to Nesbit's book, ) and I can candidly commend them as containing just and reliable informa tion on the subjects of remark. The description of the Vey country and people, adjacent to Cape Mount, is particularly interesting; as this is a country but little known, and yet is inhabited by one of the finest races of people on the western coast. Whoever purchases and reads this little work, will find himself repaid by its perusal. But besides this, he will contribute to assist a worthy man whose health has given way in the missionary work in Liberia, and has come to his native land to recruit it; and then to return again to his great missionary work. I know him per sonally, and believe him to be worthy Of all confidence and sympathy. I commend him to the kindness of the friends of Christian civilization in Africa, and hope they will buy and read his little work. It will do good.
