A Plea for Africa ~ Paperback ~ Leonard Bacon

Excerpt from A Plea for Africa: Delivered in New-Haven, July 4th, 1825 The substance of the following discourse was delivered also in Boston, July 5th, 1824. The author has now consented to its publication, in the hope that it may do something towards extending and increasing the interest which so many minds are beginning to feel for Africa. He is not so presumptuous as to expect that these few pages will avail to awaken in others the enthusiasm of which he is conscious, and which has gained strength by years of deliberate reflection. His prayer is that his fellow Christians, and especially his brethren in the ministry, may be persuaded to examine a subject on which too many form their opinions without deliberation or inquiry.
