“The work of a well-informed native of the island, written from the point of view of a West Indian, the welfare of whose colony home seemed indissolubly bound up with the institution of slavery. Very useful for the detailed account of the course of events during the latter part of the eighteenth century” (Ragatz). The Beinecke Lesser Antilles Collection 621; Sabin 64853; Afro-Americana, 8354; Ragatz, p.183.
