Excerpt from Corisco Days: The First Thirty Years of the West Africa Mission
I have not tried to make this a history of the West Africa Mission down 'to present date. Purposely, I have confined these sketches to the extreme limits of the fifty years from 1842, the beginning of the old Gaboon Mission, to about 1892.
I preferred to include the records of only the thirty years from 18219, the beginning of the old Corisco Mis sion, to about 1879, when Corisco ceased to be under white control, the management of its ecclesiastical and educational affairs being placed in efficient native hands.
More especially, I have confined myself to the days of the ten years, 1861 to 1871, during which I was personally located at Corisco and Benita.
