Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 54: January, 1889
To this result I believe two causes chicfly contribute. The first of these is the fact that we have no actual share or interest in the doings of the church. [f a business meeting of the members is requested it is not understood that the presence of student members is desired. In the most important matters of church government we have no voice at all. By this I would not be understood as necessarily claiming that we should have a voice, for the suggestion that we should ourselves, for example, select our next college pastor would, doubtless, seem a startling one. But I do say that to be a member of a church mod elled apparently on Congregational forms of polity, and be one of the majority whose Opinion seems to be as im material and undesired as it is unknown, does not tend to increase one's sense of the reality of the bond or to de ve10p zeal in its service. Even that first and least duty which we owe - oi giving money, does not find its chan nels of expression here, and on the rare occasions when the contribution plate passes down the aisle it is to receive its dollars from the faculty and dimes from the students.

This book analyzes the decline of the English West Indies, once some of the most prized colonial possessions of Great Britain, examining the reasons for their commercial decay and proposing solutions to address their issues. The author places the main subject within the broader historical context of England's colonial rule and the impact of the abolition of slavery on the region. Thematic depth is achieved through discussions of self-government, the role of race and class in society, and the complex relationship between England and its former colonies.
