Willy De la Court "Observations Upon the Windward Coast of Africa" by Joseph Corry is a scientific and exploratory work written in the early 19th century. The book explores the customs, religion, and character of the African natives along the Windward coast, as well as discussing potential methods for civilizing them and enhancing trade relations. It appears to focus on the authors' firsthand observations and experiences during his travels through Sierra Leone and its surrounding regions. The opening of the book introduces Corry's intention to provide insights into the cultures and practices of local tribes, as well as an appeal for improved understanding and commercial relations with Africa. He shares details of his journey beginning from St. Helens to Sierra Leone, marking significant geographic features along the way. Corry reflects on the natural beauty of the landscape, describes various locations such as Bance Island and the colony of Sierra Leone, and presents his interactions with native chiefs and communities, emphasizing the importance of commerce in establishing trust and spreading civilization in this largely unexplored part of the world.
