Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The West Indies: The Natural and Physical History of the Windward and Leeward Colonies: With Some Account of the Moral, Social, and Political Condition of Their Inhabitants, Immediately Before and After the Abolition of Negro Slavery My Reasons for Going to the West Indies - the Packet-Ship Pandora - Her First Voyage and Many Good Qualities - Arrival at Barbados in Twenty-Five Days. Some men travel for their amusement, - others to acquire knowledge, and not a few in search of health; I was unfortunately of the latter class. That most severe of all human ailments, gout, had made such inroads upon a constitution, otherwise sound, and had so enfeebled a frame, originally strong, that before I was fifty years of age I could with difficulty walk a hundred yards, and was seldom free from pain and suffering for a week together. The usual remedies had failed to produce any permanent relief, and as a last chance it was recommended that I should try the effects of a warm climate.
