To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the moral, religious and social condition of our neighbors, which call for the Christian effort proposed. 2d. On the facilities which seem to invite to it. 3d. On the most proper manner of commmencing, founding and conducting the mission. And Lastly, Its effects. I. The general condition of the people of Western Africa has been the theme of too many reports and treatises, to remain at this period a matter of inquiry to persons of reading or general intelligence in any country. To- wards the ...North, the intolerant system of Mahometanism prevails to the ex- clusion even of the less offensive delusion of Paganism. From the Gambia, to the Sierra Leone, a discordant mixture of Moorish austerities and Pagan li- centiousness, in regard to religious things, divides the professions of the miserable people, and distinguishes them into two distinct classes. From Sierra Leone to the South-eastward, far below Mesurado, the ever-varying absurdities of the human fancy, goaded to action by an inward consciousness of guilt and fear, and wholly uninstructed by divine revelation, enslave the minds of the inhabi- tants, and sink them perhaps to the lowest state of debasement, to which hu- man nature can descend.
