Sinossi
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.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of early nineteenth-century letters written by a young army doctor assigned to the British West Indies. These personal observations offer insights into the realities of military life during that period when Britain actively maintained a large military presence abroad and was engaged in actions against France in the Caribbean. The author gives accounts of his experiences travelling to his posting in the West Indies, the daily life of a field medic, the political climate on the islands, and the culture and customs of the enslaved African population. In relating his observations, the author provides a vivid portrayal of life in the British West Indies at that time, including frank accounts of the harsh realities of slavery and the slave trade. What emerges is a nuanced and complex picture of Britain's colonial era, which sheds light on the complex history of imperialism, its human impact, and the social and political dynamics of the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
