Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from West African Islands
A Governor was appointed, with the munificent salary of one hundred pounds a year, and a public table was kept. It was part of the Governor's duty to preside at the daily banquet, and some of the settlers appear to have been such peculiar characters, that he found it necessary to draw up a code for the regula tion and behaviour of the guests. One paragraph of this code was to the effect that nobody ought to sit at table with him that is not cleanly dressed, or that is drunk.
