ABSTRACT
Sunday 30. 1'he King paid me a long visit, he heard, he said, that my horse had died, and had come to see me least I should think he forgot me, but he had so much fetish to make, and so many palavers to settle, that he had little time. The conversation then turned on the travels of Englishmen, and the white men drowned in the Quo1Ia (Niger.) I explained to his Majesty the objects of the expeditions sent from England to the interior of Africa, and expressed how anxious I was to get Mr. Park's books and papers for the King of England ; his Majesty promised to aid me in doing so, and before he went away, desired me to point out to him what I conceived the proper meth~d.
