The Lost Continent: Or Slavery And The Slave-Trade In Africa, 1875 is a historical non-fiction book written by Joseph Cooper in 1875. The book explores the subject of slavery and the slave trade in Africa during the 19th century. Cooper, who was a British journalist and explorer, provides a detailed account of his travels through Africa, where he witnessed the horrors of the slave trade firsthand. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the slave trade. Cooper describes the methods used by slave traders to capture and transport slaves, the conditions in which slaves were kept, and the impact of the slave trade on African societies. He also discusses the efforts made by the British government to combat the slave trade, including the Royal Navy's patrols along the coast of Africa.Throughout the book, Cooper expresses his strong opposition to slavery and the slave trade, and he argues that it is the responsibility of the British government to put an end to these practices. He also provides insights into the cultural and social practices of African societies, and the impact of European colonialism on the continent.Overall, The Lost Continent: Or Slavery And The Slave-Trade In Africa, 1875 is a powerful and insightful account of the slave trade in Africa during the 19th century. It provides a valuable historical perspective on a subject that continues to have significant relevance today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
