Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Winter in the West Indies: Described in Familiar Letters to Henry Clay, of Kentucky In company with Mahlon Day, a highly respectable? citizen of New-York, and a young friend, who kindly undertook to act as our attendant and helper, I sailed from that city on the 22nd of last Eleventh-month, (November.) in the Camilla, Captain Watlington. Our ships company consisted of about twenty individuals, (mostly in search of a warmer climate and better health) who had taken their passage, in this accommodating little ship, for Santa Cruz. The fine, but cold, frosty day, on which we left your shoresi, gave them a sufficient warning, that the season was at hand, when the rigor of a North American winter would become dangerous. At the same time, it afforded such of us as were in good health a delightful opportunity - as we swept along under full sail - of observing, under the brightest aspect, the rare beauty of the harbor of New-York, the bay, and the neighboring islands. We had not continued our voyage more than three days, before we found ourselves in a genial climate. The thermometer stood at 70, and light clothing gradually came into requisition. The change was almost magical, and certainly it was no small luxury thus insensibly to glide into warmth, and as it were, to catch summer again by the skirts. We were now crossing "the Gulph Stream," where it is said to have a breadth of two hundred and fifty miles, and the temperature of the air was probably heightened by the heat of the waves below. To account for this enormous current of warm water which runs up from the Gulph of Mexico, in a north-easterly direction, to so great a distance, seems to be nearly impossible. What the causes are which occasion the magnitude of the current, and the heat of the water, seems to be mere matter of conjecture; but its beneficial effect in melting the ice, and unlocking the harbors, of North America, affords one evidence among ten thousand, that even the wildest sports of nature are subservient to good and wise purposes, in the order of a benevolent Providence. Boisterous weather and a strong adverse gale, were our portion as we crossed "the Gulph." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brethren of the Coast: A Tale of the West Indies To remind him always that he is an American! Cried the delighted father. And his name shall be Theophilus William, which was that of his grand father, as true a Yankee as ever trod free soil. Lesbia, for this news thou shalt have thy' freedom within an hour; for none but a free woman may nurse my boy. The woman drew herself up to her full stature, and into her eyes flashed a light that could never shine from those of a slave. Such a gift is beyond thanks, my master; but with my life will I serve thee and him. No longer thy master, Lesbia, but thy friend. Now tell me if I may see him? My friend, I will fetch him that thy eyes may look into his, answered the black woman, with the graciousness of one who confers a royal favor. Then she turned, and, with head proudly uplifted, looking neither to right nor left, she entered the house with the air of a princess.

The book pleased with all its faults, and with all its faults it shall remain. But in this awful crisis of our country, when the right hand of the colonial power of Eng land is hacked at with a pertinacious hatred, of which there is no example in the history of domestic treason or foreign hostility, I will no longer scruple the expedience of putting the author's humble name to a work, which was written in a deep conviction of the immense importance of the rest Indies to our maritime superiority, and of the truth of the political views of which, in respect of the conduct of the Abolitionists, the events of every day and hour more and more persuade me.

Download or read book Beyond Coloniality written by Aaron Kamugisha and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the lethargy and despair of the contemporary Anglophone Caribbean experience, Aaron Kamugisha gives a powerful argument for advancing Caribbean radical thought as an answer to the conundrums of the present. Beyond Coloniality is an extended meditation on Caribbean thought and freedom at the beginning of the 21st century and a profound rejection of the postindependence social and political organization of the Anglophone Caribbean and its contentment with neocolonial arrangements of power. Kamugisha provides a dazzling reading of two towering figures of the Caribbean intellectual tradition, C. L. R. James and Sylvia Wynter, and their quest for human freedom beyond coloniality. Ultimately, he urges the Caribbean to recall and reconsider the radicalism of its most distinguished 20th-century thinkers in order to imagine a future beyond neocolonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English in the West Indies: Or the Bow of Ulysses My purpose in writing this book is so fully explained in the book itself that a Preface is unnecessary. I visited the West India Islands in order to increase my acquaintance with the condition of the British Colonies. I have related what I saw and what I heard, with the general impressions which I was led to form. In a few instances, when opinions were conveyed to me which were important in themselves, but which it might be undesirable to assign to the persons from whom I heard them, I have altered initials and disguised localities and circumstances. The illustrations are from sketches of my own, which, except so far as they are tolerably like the scenes which they represent, are without value. They have been made producible by the skill and care of the engraver, Mr. Pearson, to whom my warmest thanks are due.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Years' Residence in the West Indies, Vol. 1 of 2 I Should have dedicated this work to one of the kindest men and best Governors that the West Indies ever had - as noble in mind as in name, but that his Excellency was afraid of my truthful revelations. He had seen, and heard read, parts of my MS., and had observed, "I am sorry to say that what you have written is but too true; yet at home they are not aware of it, though it deserves to be made known to all England; but, there, it will not be believed." Why not believed? - because Policy, not Truth, governs the world; and the West Indies in particular; so we have all but given up these magnificent islands to the barbarian, to lapse once more into a mere lair for the negro - not to the aboriginal inhabitant, but to a savage ten times worse, brought four thousand miles to repress the civilization which otherwise might, by a possibility, have flourished there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the West Indies Kingston, with its neighbour Port Royal, is probably the best-known place of all our possessions in the West Indies. So much has been talked about it, so muchromance centred in and around it, that all English men know of it. It will therefore suffice to say that on arriving there after a thir teen-days' voyage on one of the ships of the Imperial Direct West India Mail Service we went to the Constant Spring Hotel. This hotel, four miles out from Kingston, on rising ground 300 feet high, commands fine views, and is charmingly situated in a large garden. It was from this place that we determined on an expedition to Port Antonio, on the north side of the Island, crossing the Peak of the Blue Mountains, and returning through the Bog Walk to Spanish Town. The first stage of the journey we made on the electric tramway which connects Con stant Spring with Kingston, half way be tween the two places being half-vvay Tree, where a branch line leads up to Papine Corner, passing the Hope Gardens and King's House.
