ABSTRACT

This chapter presents excerpts from the novel The Black Prince. It provides an Account of the life and death of Naimbanna, an African King’s Son, Who arrived in England in the Year 1791, and set sail on his return in June 1793. The tale culminates in a pietistic celebration of prince Naimbanna’s new-found Christianity, especially as he was felled early before he could bear evangelical fruit.
