CHAPTER III
166/197

Near the school-house is the chapel of the estate, a neat building, capable of holding three or four hundred people.

Adjacent to the chapel is the burial ground for the negroes belonging to the Society's estate.

We noticed several neat tombs, which appeared to have been erected only a short time previous.

They were built of brick, and covered over with lime, so as to resemble white marble slabs.

On being told that these were erected by the negroes themselves over the bodies of their friends, we could not fail to note so beautiful an evidence of their civilization and humanity.
