"An endeavour is made in the following pages, not only to set forth a true historical sketch of the connection between France and Madagascar from the earliest times to the present, by which it will be seen how little claim the former has to the island.but also to answer various questions which are arising in the minds of many, with regard to the country--its products and adaptability for foreign enterprise and commerce; and its people, their character, habits, employments; and advance in civilisation and Christianity." The author was a missionary working with the London Missionary Society, stationed in Madagascar for 14 years. N° de ref. del artículo 23268
