OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC PRESS.

"Four Years' Residence in the West Indies' has enabled our clever author to produce a work at once amusing and valuable amusing from his lively manner, and valuable from his judicious information. He is not one of those who saw nothing but negro oppression and misery in the West Indies on the contrary, though an advocate for gradual emancipation, he draws, on the whole, a favourable picture of the condition of the slave population; and his testimony is entitled to the more attention, as, being the son of a military officer, and utterly unconnected with planters, he could have no bias to warp his views on this momentous question. His volume is enriched by concise chronologies and statistics of the various islands, from their discovery to the present time, and by a number of well executed lithographic embellishments. In all respects the author deserves our praise; and his book will, we are persuaded, be favourably received by the public in general."-Literary Gazette.
