Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical and Statistical View of the Island of Trinidad: With Chronological Table of Events From 1782
I take leave to dedicate to you the following papers, which, Whatever may be their value, are the result of much labour and in dedicating them to you, I feel that I am only performing a duty in placing my bantling at your disposal, for the reason that to you particularly, Who are so deeply interested in the progress of' the island and its development, and to Whom Trinidad owes much, and to others who may worthily follow in your foot steps, the details therein contained will possess some value. For my part, I can only claim to have performed the work correctly perhaps the most important element in a book of this nature. I hope that it may prove useful; I am sure that my chief intention has been to make it so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
