ABSTRACT
Dazee was a native of the country on the western coast of Africa, lying- north of Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is a settlement, which was formed towards the end of the last century by certain benevolent English gentlemen on the coast of Africa, in order to afford an asylum for such of the captive negroes as should be retaken from the holds of slave-vessels, or in other ways delivered from the hands of their barbarous masters. little Dazee suffered so much from the deadly, suffocating stench, as well as from a kind of food to which he had not been used, that he was shortly attacked with a violent fever and delirium. Dazee pointed out the place of worship to his mother, and explained to her its use; after which he entered into some account of the leading doctrines of the Christian religion, together with certain customs of the Christians with regard to their public worship.
