Black Ivory

In writing this book, my aim has been to give a true picture in outline of the Slave Trade as it exists at the present time on the east coast of Africa. In order to do this I have selected from the most trustworthy sources what I believe to be the most telling points of the trade, and have woven these together into a tale, the warp of which is composed of thick cords of fact; the woof of slight lines of fiction, just sufficient to hold the fabric together. Exaggeration has easily been avoided, becauseas Dr Livingstone says in regard to the slave-tradeexaggeration is impossible. If the readers taste should be offended by finding the tragic and comic elements in too close proximity I trust that he will bear in remembrance that such is life, and that the writer who would be true to life must follow, not lead, nature. I have to acknowledge myself indebted to Dr Ryan, late Bishop of Mauritius; to the Rev. Charles New, interpreter to the Livingstone Search Expedition; to Edward Hutchinson, Esquire, Lay Secretary to the Church Missionary Society, and others, for kindly furnishing me with information in connexion with the slave trade. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
