Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Five Years in Trinidad and St. Vincent, Vol. 1 of 2: A View of the Social Condition of the White, Coloured, and Negro Population of the West Indies
These pages are little else than an accumulation of facts; the results of personal experience and attentive observation; and if, at times, they warrant conclusions adverse to popular opinions, I can only say that I record facts, for which alone I am answer able, not for the conclusions to which they lead.
I am fearful that some inaccuracies, particularly in Negro language, may be found in these pages; and can only plead; as an apology for them, my absence from England while the work has been printed.
