With respect to the fertility of the country; the good disposition of many of the natives, and the manner by which the slave trade is carried on.

George Wallis [sic, for Wallace], Francis Hutcheson, and James Foster, and a large extract from a pamphlet, lately published in London, on the subject of the slave trade.
