Excerpt from The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies, Vol. 4 of 4 To M. Delaire, a very considerable and respeétable merchant in the town of the Cape, who has since removed to the state of South Carolina, I was indebted for a similar narrative, drawn up by himself in the English language, of which he is a very competent master. It is brief, but much to the purpose; dis plays an intimate knowledge of the concerns of the colony, and traces, with great acuteness, its disasters to their source.
