Reseña del editor:
Excerpt from The West Indies
IN the following pages I have endeavoured to lay before the reader a sketch of the West India Islands from the time of their discovery to the present date. Regarded in a purely historical light, the annals of the Antilles are fraught with the deepest interest° for they portray most pain fully the debasement consequent on slavery - a moral deterioration not confined to the wretched victims Of an odious system, but exercising an equally pernicious influence on the ruling class, to whatever nationality they belonged. Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Englishmen have all been guilty of terrible excesses in that fair quarter of the globe; but, while betraying Just indignation at the cruelties perpetrated by other nations, I have made no unfair effort to gloss over the deeds of my own countrymen.
