Excerpt from Notes on the West Indies, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Observations Relative to the Creoles and Slaves of the Western Colonies, and the Indians of South America; Interspersed With Remarks Upon the Seasoning or Yellow Fever of Hot Climates

Not only have those parts of the former edition, which were deemed irrelevant, been removed, and others, which appeared diffuse, condensed, but a considerable proportion of new matter, respecting the Islands of Mar tinique, Jamaica, and St. Domingo, as well as upon the subject of slavery in general, has been introduced. In order to accomplish this object, without increasing the bulk of the volumes, the author has found it necessary to have frequent recourse to abridgment, and even to the omission of whole pages, where the subject was of minor importance.
