Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Colonization Society, in Answer to an Order of the House of Delegates of the Second January, Eighteen Hundred and Forty-Four
There is reason to believe that through the system at present adopted by the society of causing a return, of one or two colonists of in?uence and respectability annually, to mingle with their old associates, no difficulty will hereafter be experienced in obtaining any desirable number of emigrants, and those too of the right stamp.
In Africa many of the difficulties which attended the infancy and early progress of the colony are disappearing as it gradually assumes a permanent and established character. Its numerical strength and moral in?uence is now such as to relieve its citizens from any apprehensions of violence on part of the natives by whom they are surrounded and of course they are left free to devote their whole energies to the improvement of their condition.
