Liberia, the America-African Republic, being Some Impressions of the Climate, Resources and People, Resulting from Personal Observations and Experiences in Western Africa. 107 pages. Illustrated. 8vo, original blue cloth decoratively stamped in gilt and blind; lacks the front free floral endpaper, otherwise a handsome copy. New York, 1886
first edition of a well-written travel narrative by an American educator and pastor who also served as General Agent for Industrial Education in Liberia. The author's preface is unusual in that he apologizes for exaggerating the plusses of Liberia while playing down the negative aspects of picking up and relocating to the nascent West African country.
