DEDICATION
TO THE
Inhabitants of Bristol.

A FTER revolving in my mind a length of time, whose protection I might solicit for the subsequent pages, it strikes me, I may look up with more confidence to the City I proudly boast to be a native of, than to any other quarter.

Permit me, therefore, to trespass on your patience for a short space, by entreating your Countenance, and Patronage, to a faithful and just account of two voyages to the inhospitable Coast of Africa. Chequered throughout with such a complication of disasters as I may venture to affirm have never yet attended any of my dear Country Women, and such as I sincerely hope they never may experience.

I will not undertake to promise you either elegant or modish diction; and all I shall advance in my favour, is a rigid adherence to truth, which (without embellishment) I am persuaded will meet its just reward from the Inhabitants of Bristol; whom I trust, will have the goodness to keep in mind the infancy of my pen, that the recollection may serve for an apology, should they at any time catch me giving too much scope to its reins.
