Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Years Ago: A Tale of West Indian Domestic Life of the Eighteenth Century July 3rd, 1790. It is strange that my father, surrounded as he is by bushas, overseers, and book-keepers, should retain his love of study, especially that of polite and elegant literature. I think, however, he is chiefly given to Natural History and Botany, of which latter he has taught me a little; and my sisters already quiz me so much that I am ashamed, as Papa says, to call things by their right names. Only last night, when I ventured to speak of our South Sea Rose as the Nerium, they said the discordant sound of such an appellation took away half the beauty of the flower. They did not agree with the old adage, that "A rose called by any other name smells just as sweet." My father, too, has published one or two works, which have taken greatly with the English public. Some of the reviewers expressed their surprise that a West Indian wrote so well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
