Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continental Monthly, Vol. 4: Devoted to Literature and National Policy; July December, 1863 The, writer is very far indeed from pretending to have carried through such an inquiry. His personal ac quaintance extends to but seven of the twenty-two parishes of the island, and he is intimately acquainted with not more than three of these seven. He has but a meagre knowledge of statistical facts, bearing on the workings of eman cipation in the island, and indeed the statistics themselves, as Mr. Sewell com plains, are very meagre and very hard to get. Still the writer has been able to gather some facts which will speak for themselves, and he claims for his personal impressions on points concern ing which he cannot give particular facts the degree of confidence deserved by one who has resided five years and a half in a rural district, who has lived familiarly conversant with negroes and with whites of all classes, who has heard all sides of the question from valued personal friends, and who nei ther carried to Jamaica nor brought away from it any peculiar disposition to an apotheosis of the negro character.
