Excerpt from History of Madagascar, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Also the Progress of the Christian Mission Established in 1818, and an Authentic Account of the Persecution and Recent Martyrdom of the Native Christians
The materials for a large portion of the following work, were collected by the Missionaries in the island to which it relates, and forwarded to this country in the year 1830. It was then intended to present chiefly a history of the Protestant Mission in Madagascar, from its commencement in 1818, to the decease of Radama in 1828. This, it was proposed, to accompany by a description of the most remarkable customs of the Malagasy, biographical notices of the late king, and other distinguished personages; and an account of the abolition of the slavetrade in the island.
