TO THE PRINTER.
THE distress which the inhabitants of Guinea experience
at the loss of their children, which are stolen from them
by the persons employed in the barbarous traffic of human
flesh, is, perhaps, more thoroughly felt than described.
But, as it is a subject to which every person
has not attended, the Author of the following lines hopes
that, possibly, he may excite some attention, (while he
obtains indulgence) to an attempt to represent the anguish
of a mother, whose son and daughter were taken
from her by a Ship's Crew, belonging to a Country
where the God of Justice and Mercy is owned and worshipped.
