"A National Anthem for Liberia in Africa: Being a Freewill Offering in the Cause of Wise Emancipation" (by Martin Farquhar Tupper)
Liberia Herald 17.5 (28 February 1849): 44
- Martin Farquhar Tupper was an English writer; his name is misprinted here as "Ferquhar"
- In the title, "Africa" is misprinted as "Aerica".
- The poem appears to have been published a year earlier, in Lays and Rhymes for the Times (London: Bell, 1848). It is included here because the content refers directly to Liberia.
- He is also the author of another poem published in the Liberia Herald, "The Liberian Church: A Sonnet".
- He has published at least one other poem about Liberia, "The Liberian Beacon," in: Ballads for the Times, (Now First Collected,) Geraldine, A Modern Pyramid, Hactenus, A Thousand Lines, and Other Poems. New, enlarged and rev. ed. London: Arthur Hall, Virtue & Co., 1851. 86-87.
