This 1859 publication contains the journals kept by Samuel Crowther
(who in 1864 became the first African bishop of the Anglican
church) and John Christopher Taylor during their respective
missions to the banks of the Niger in 1857 and 1858. Crowther, a
rescued slave educated at the Anglican mission in Sierra Leone, and
Taylor, another Sierra Leonean, travelled on a trade expedition
endorsed by the British government. Taylor disembarked at Onitsha
and founded the first mission among the Ibo people, while Crowther
landed further up the river, at Rabba. Revealing great Christian
zeal and enthusiasm, both journals offer compelling insights into
the daily life of a missionary in Africa and also serve as a
valuable source of local history. The book includes the account of
a canoe expedition undertaken by Crowther, along with a table of
expenses for the trip, and a fascinating collection of Ibo proverbs
compiled by Taylor.
