Excerpt from Five Years' Residence in the West Indies, Vol. 2 of 2 I Left Port of Spain on Friday, April 14th, to make what is called the tour of the island, that is, to go from the western coast to the Bande de l'Este, or eastern side, and from thence to the extreme south, crossing again directly to the north. From a variety of circumstances, this is a journey of considerable fatigue and some risk. The first stage is to Arima, sixteen miles. I was on horseback, having as a guide a trustworthy, clever, coloured man, on foot, who carried my sac de nuit on his head, for which service, to Nariva, forty-five miles, he was to receive six dollars, or one pound five shillings.

Excerpt from Five Years' Residence in the West Indies, Vol. 1 of 2 I Should have dedicated this work to one of the kindest men and best Governors that the West Indies ever had - as noble in mind as in name, but that his Excellency was afraid of my truthful revelations. He had seen, and heard read, parts of my MS., and had observed, "I am sorry to say that what you have written is but too true; yet at home they are not aware of it, though it deserves to be made known to all England; but, there, it will not be believed." Why not believed? - because Policy, not Truth, governs the world; and the West Indies in particular; so we have all but given up these magnificent islands to the barbarian, to lapse once more into a mere lair for the negro - not to the aboriginal inhabitant, but to a savage ten times worse, brought four thousand miles to repress the civilization which otherwise might, by a possibility, have flourished there. "The Ethiop cannot change his skin, nor the white man amalgamate with the black." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
