Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Merits of the American Colonization Society: And a Reply to the Charges Brought Against It; With an Account of the British African Colonization Society

The present condition of the Natives in the vicinity of the society's settlement is most favourable to the efforts of the philanthropist; and that an attempt to instruct them in the Arts and Christianity will be successful, seems a1m08t certain. - 6th Report, 1823, p. 16.

But should the expectation of the Board, that the slave-trade will soon be stigmatized by the unanimous decision of all the Powers of Christendom, as an offence against the law of nations, be disappointed, much may be done towards its extermination by the inﬂuence of a colony which may open with the Natives a legitimate commerce, furnish them with agricul tural utensils, instruct them in the Arts and true religion, and exhibit before them the superior happiness of a humane, industrious, and Christian people.
