This book provides a first-hand account of a voyage to West Africa in the late 19th century. Its three authors, I. Clark, John M'Leod, and Rosamond Manton, were all British missionaries who traveled to Dahomey, a kingdom on the coast of West Africa. The book provides a fascinating insight into the culture and customs of the Dahomian people, as well as the challenges faced by European missionaries in Africa at that time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
