Book excerpt: Excerpt from The West India Sketch Book, Vol. 2 of 2 The stream at Cayon is at all times fordable, and although it has been honoured with the name of river, it is seldom that a body of water passes over the rocky bottom of the ravine sufficient to warrant the designation. At the opposite side of the ravine there is a settlement Of the Moravian Missionaries, and the parish church of Saint Mary. The ascent of the road in this direction, and for the distance of half a mile onward, presents a succession of objects such as the imagination would embody in a scene of the true Indian character, destitute of every feature that could suggest the idea of a state of slavery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from West-Indian Sketches, Vol. 1: Drawn From Authentic Sources; Punishment of the Maroons of Demarara; From Pinckard's Notes on the West Indies A second edition of Dr. Pinckard's Notes on the West Indies has recently made its appearance. No publication could be more seasonable. It exhibits the impression made on the mind of an intelligent and disinterested spectator, at first evidently prejudiced in favour of West-Indian manners, who has had an opportunity of seeing with his own eyes the real nature and effects of colonial bondage. It seems the more necessary to bring forward to the view of the public, at this particular time, a witness so respectable, and so far removed from any suspicion of partiality or party feeling, as Dr. Pinckard; since, in the warmth of the conflict on West-Indian subjects which is now carrying on, the colonial partizans appear disposed to deny the existence even of the most prominent features of their own system; for example, the practice of driving. We should as soon have expected to hear it denied that a nose formed a part of the human countenance, as that the practice of driving the Negroes at their work by the impulse of the cart-whip, was not generally prevalent in the West Indies. Exceptions from this common rule may doubtless be produced - so may men without noses: but from such rare examples it would be most obviously unfair to object to the general statement. The fact is - a fact capable of the clearest proof from the direct evidence, or the unavoidable concessions, of West-Indians themselves - that the Negroes in general labour under the lash, and are compelled to exertion either by the terror or the actual pain of its infliction. On some future occasion, should it be necessary, a variety of authentic attestations to this fact will be presented to the public view. In the mean time, the testimony of Dr. Pinckard may be regarded as quite decisive. Drivers, of whom there are one or more on all estates, this interesting writer describes to be "Slaves so termed from being promoted to the distinguished office of following their comrades upon all occasions with a whip at their backs, as an English carter follows his horses." In short, it would be as reasonable to deny that slavery exists in the West Indies at all, as to deny that the slaves are compelled to labour by the impulse of the whip. The object of the present paper, however, is not to enter on the discussion of this particular question, but to present the public with one of those graphic representations of West-Indian manners and feelings, in respect to the slave population, with which Dr. Pinckard's work has furnished us, and which relates not to the conduct of an individual, but to the administration of criminal justice, and the judicial proceedings of public functionaries. The letter from which the extract is taken bears date in Demarara, the 16th May, 1796. "I wish I could repeat to you," observes Dr. Pinckard, "as eloquently as I heard it related, the very interesting detail of an expedition sent into the woods against the Bush-negroes, last year, under the command of Major M'Grah and Captain Dougan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sketch Book, Vol. 1: Rip Van Winkle; Rural Life in England; Christmas; The Stage Coach; Christmas Eve; Christmas Day; The Christmas Dinner; Traits of Indian Character The great error in Rip's composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labour. It could not be from the want of assiduity or perseverance; for he would sit on a wet rock, With a rod as long and heavy as a Tartar's lance, 15 and fish all day without a murmur, even though he should not be encouraged by a single nibble. He would carry a fowling-piece on his shoulder for hours together, trudging through woods and swamm, and up hill and down dale, to shoot a so few squirrels or wild pigeons. He would never refuse to assist a neighbour even in the roughest toil, and was a foremost man at all country fro lics for husking Indian corn, or building stone fences: the women of the Village, too, used to 25 employ him to run their errands, and do such little odd jobs as their less obliging husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to anybody's business but his own; but as to doing family duty, and keeping his farm in 80 order, he found it impossible.

Todd; its clerks and check boys, is one of which any city might be proud, and is certainly appreciated by the people of Chip pewa Falls. The Stanley Brothers have also a large brick store, well filled with various kinds of goods, but the proprietors being away from home at the time of our visit, we were unable to make a tour of inspection. The new court house occupies a very sightly place, and is an attractive edifice. Its dimensions we are unable to give. The two new hotels are both large and centrally situated. We can speak of the accommodations of only one, tne Central House. Here everything is in perfect order here are landlords and landladies who know how to make their guests feel at home; here too, is a marvel a clerk who knows his business and attends to it. Some humorist, speaking of a hotel clerk, once remarked, that after said clerk had looked at him five seconds, he could not swear whether he belonged to the clerk or to himself. Mr. Harding does not so impress visitors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
