About This Book
Wadstrom's only experience of Africa was a short
visit with Anders Spamnan, the naturalist who had earlier traveled in South Africa,
and K. A. Anhenius, a geologist, to GOfl:!e and Cape Verde in 1787-88 on an
abortive mission, supported by the King of Sweden, prospecting for a colony of
settlement. Spamnan thought of returning across the Sahara, but was dissuaded by
1785 BRISSON. Wadstrom then settled in London, where he helped found a
Swedenborgian church and busied himself with the anti-slave trade campaign and
the affairs of the Sierra Leone Company. August NORDENSKIOLD (d. 1792) may
have been the author or part-author of (2), which was first published anonymously,
and Dr William DICKSON claimed authorship of (3). See also 1771 SMEA TIIMAN,
1772 NORRIS, and 1776 NORDENSKIOLD.
