In this paragraph you should find the answer to:
1.Who is the author? Provide any background information from the text.

7.  My object in going into the country south of the desert was
to instruct the natives in a knowledge of Christianity, but…soon
found that, for the purpose of commerce, it was necessary to
have a path [from the interior] to the sea.
 In a commercial point of view, communication with this
country is desirable. Angola is wonderfully fertile, producing
every kind of tropical plant in rank luxuriance. [C]otton is
produced in great abundance,…bananas and pine-apples in
great luxuriance; but the people having no maritime
communication, these advantages are almost lost.

8.  A prospect is now before us of opening Africa for
commerce and the Gospel…[T]he natives of Central Africa are
very desirous of trading, but their only traffic at present is in
slaves, of which the poorer people have an unmitigated horror:
it is therefore most desirable to encourage… a way for the
consumption of free productions, and the introduction of
Christianity and commerce. By encouraging the propensity for
trade, the advantages that might be derived in a commercial
point of view are incalculable; nor should we lose sight of the
inestimable blessing it is in our power to bestow upon the
unenlightened African, by giving him the light of Christianity.
