Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies, Vol. 4 of 4 Soon after I had published the History of the British Colonies in the West Indies, I conceived the design of compiling a general account of the settlements made by all the nations of Europe in that part of the New Hemisphere, but more particularly the French, whose possessions were undoubtedly the most valuable and productive of the whole Archipelago. This idea suggested itself to me on surveying the materials I had collected with regard to their principal colony in St. Domingo; not doubting, as the fortune of war had placed under the British dominion all or most of the other French islands, that I should easily procure such particulars of the condition, population and culture of each, as would enable me to complete my design, with credit to myself, and satisfaction to the public. I am sorry to observe, that in this expectation I have hitherto found myself disappointed. The present publication, therefore, is confined wholly to St. Domingo concerning which, having personally visited that unhappy country soon after the revolt of the negroes in 1791, and formed connections there, which have supplied me with regular communications ever since, I possess a mass of evidence and important documents.
