The African Widow: Being the History of a Poor Black Woman; Showing How She Grieved for the Death of Her Child, and the Consequences of Her Doing So (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The African Widow: Being the History of a Poor Black Woman; Showing How She Grieved for the Death of Her Child, and the Consequences of Her Doing So

On lately reading the Report of a Society instituted for the relief of the wants of the poor African and Asiatic strangers, whom various circumstances in providence have brought to England, was much struck with the very affecting Narrative of a Black woman, which is added to the Report. - It occurred to me, that it might be well to state the circumstances of her life, in a few plain and simple rhymes. The attempt is here made, preserving the particulars of the history as they are recorded in the account above mentioned.
