Published by Thomas Hamilton in New York and by the author in Philadelphia. Contains a frontispiece print of Campbell, and a fold out map of Yoruba country near the Niger River (attached to front flyleaf). In the introduction, Campbell writes, "After what is written in the context, if I am still asked what I think of Africa for a colored man to live and do well in, I simply answer, that with as good prospects in America as colored men generally, I have determined, with my wife and children, to go to Africa to live, leaving the inquirer to interpret the reply for himself."
