OF THE

INCORPORATED SOCIETY

FOR

THE CONVERSION AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION AND
EDUCATION OF THE NEGROE SLAVES IN

THE BRITISH WEST INDIA ISLANDS

FOR THE YEAR MDCCCXXVII.

IN WHICH IS INCLUDED

A GENERAL VIEW

OF THE

STATE OF RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE

United Church of England and Freland

THROUGHOUT THE

DIOCESES OF JAMAICA,

AND

BARBADOS AND THE LEEWARD
ISLANDS.

COULD THE PUBLIC THROUGHOUT THE MOTHER COUNTRY BE ONCE PUT
IN POSSESSION OF WHAT IS REALLY DOING, AND AN EARNEST APPEAL
BE MADE TO THEIR RELIGIOUS FEELINGS, I CANNOT THINK THAT
MEANS WOULD BE WANTING TO ENABLE THE SOCIETY, NOT ONLY TO
SUPPORT, BUT TO EXTEND STILL FURTHER, (AND WITH SUCH ALTer-
ATIONS AS CIRCUMSTANCES MAY REQUIRE) THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.-Letter from the Lord Bishop of Barbados
and the Leeward Islands.
