The Home of the Fever Spirit on the Guinea Coast
David Ker assesses Sierra Leone and Monrovia as unhealthy ports on the West African coast. He contrasts the picturesque colonial towns with malaria and typhoid, notes European doctor deaths, and mocks imperial decisions from Tangier to Dunkirk while describing Cape Mesurado and Stockton Creek. He recalls Liberia’s capital as a small, self-satisfied polity amid tropical scenery.

Gold production and price readjustment critique
A Fortnightly Review excerpt argues that general production cannot sustain universal overproduction. It traces price declines to gold discoveries after 1849, shows how reduced gold output lowers prices, and suggests a shift toward a lower royal expenditure as the monarchy remains costly. It compares historic gold-driven cycles with current deficits and urges fiscal restraint.
