a kingdom in Africa, through which Mr Park passed from the Gambia to the Niger. According to him the country consists of sandy plains and rocky hills, the level part of it being the most extensive. It is inhabited by Negroes, many of whom retain all their ancient superstitions, although converted to the religion of Mahomet. White men, he informs us, are strangers in the kingdom of Kaarta; and Mr Park's appearance had nearly the same effect upon them which ignorant people in our own country attribute to ghosts. Mr Park was well received by the king at Kemmoo, who at the same time informed him with ingenuous frankness, that he could not protect him, being then at war with the king of Bambarra, but he gave him a guard to Jarra, the frontier town of the neighbouring kingdom of Ludamar. From our author's account of this war, it seems to be highly impolitic to liberate the negroes from slavery till civilization and Christianity be introduced into Africa. Kemmoo, the metropolis of this kingdom, lies in N. Lat. 14. 15. W. Long. 7. 20.
