Excerpt from The Island of Cuba: A Descriptive and Historical Account of the Great Antilla

Indeed, so little have we been concerned with the island - which, on account of its proximity to our shores, if for no other rea son, should have some claim to our consider ation - that, according to the results of a search instituted in the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress, but sni works-upon Cuba were published in this country between the years of 1870 and 1889, and only one during the years from 1890 to 1895; while a file of the annual English Catalogue of Books from 1885 to 1895 does not con tain the title of a single such work printed in Great Britain and Ireland.

We might naturally expect that the atten tion again centered upon the Island of Cuba by the recurrence of hostilities in 1895 would be promptly followed by a new output of literature; and this has proved to be the case. Three works of some magnitude have already appeared in the United States this year, besides a flood of small pamphlets and articles.
