Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks on Emigration to Jamaica: Addressed to the Coloured Class of the United States
The island is most plentifully supplied with water of the purest quality, in consequence of which the name which it bore when discovered by Columbus, and which it continues to re tain, is said to signify island of springs. Almost every gully or little glen has its crystal streamlet gliding through it. So very abundant are these, that over the greater part of the country every house and cottage has water within a short and convenient distance. Dug wells are unknown, except about the vicinity of Kingston. Thus also the sugar and other mills are generally turned by water-streams.
