Abstract
The foregoing statement is an outline of the history to be related in our present narrative. But the more detailed account of those transactions may be suitably preceded by a short description of the British establishment on the Gold Coast, the Fantee tribes around them, and the Ashantee kingdom, as hitherto known from travellers' reports. These subjects will therefore occupy our first attention. The Gold Coast was visited so long ago as 1364 by some French merchant adventurers of Rouen and Dieppe.
