Methodist missionary Thomas Birch Freeman (1809 1890) was one of
the most successful missionaries of his day, founding churches in
Nigeria and the Gold Coast. The son of an African father and
English mother, he possessed great diplomatic skills in dealing
with colonial administrators and native rulers, and Methodist
churches spread rapidly using literate converts as lay preachers,
particularly among freed and repatriated slaves. His resignation
was caused by financial problems due to poor accounting. His
Journal was serialised in a Methodist periodical between 1840 and
1843, published as a book in 1843, and revised the following year.
His attempts to get the slave trade and the practice of human
sacrifice abolished in Dahomey were frustrated, but he was much
more successful in founding missions. The book is a fascinating
picture of life in West Africa in the mid-nineteenth century.
