ABSTRACT

Simple elemental circumstance or fact that attention is once more being drawn to the ancient capital of the Colony makes us infinitely grateful, and having regard to present depressing conditions deeply ruminative, Cape Coast eliminated from the History of the Gold Coast would be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Cape Coast is the Headquarters of the Church-s-the centre of Enlightenment. The Catholic Mission, the Church of England, Wesleyan Methodism, the Baptist Church, Zionism and the Nigerian Mission occupy impregnable positions, and Religion alone has made Subject trances great and mighty before 1911. Education-both primary and secondary has held at this place for many years and is more entrenched and invested to-day than ever.
