Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in British Guiana How much do we not owe to the many diaries and reminiscences written by Englishmen and Frenchmen during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? So, despite Mrs. Oliphant's strictures, and disregarding the fact that some indolent reviewers, if they condescend to notice this book, may put me down as a garrulous and vain old man, I shall proceed to write down my Recollections of British Guiana as it was during my connection with the colony from 1872 to 1897, in the hope that my readers, gentle or otherwise, may find something therein both to amuse and instruct them.

Complainant asserted that defendant had stolen his duck, value five shillings. While the complaint was being read, defendant listened without interruption until the alleged value of the duck, five shillings, was stated, when he made the remark, "Duck price raise fo' true!" On being called upon to plead to the charge, he replied, "Wa da? Da tough, tough, someting fo' five shillin'; man no ha conseience. Bin sevin bit an' a half, fine someting; but whole five shillin' Guilty? No, sah, me isn't guilty. Hello!"

Proceeding, complainant stated that on a certain day he "bin hab one duck-drake, and de duck-drake always does walk in de trench wid de duck-hen; dem da catch shrimmies. One big trench bin deh right a we do' mout', me honour, an' we bin lib one side de trench and Tammas de oddah. Me always does see how Tammas does watch dem duck, hungry fashion."
