 '■' As the GnUlcnmH's Magazine admits 

 that it sometimes reviews books " iw 

 joke," St may not be improper to ob- 

 .servc, that it last month practised one 

 of its old jokes, by reviewing two 

 books of history, published above 

 twf.nty years ago, and charging on the 

 author as faults, that he has not intro- 

 duced all events between the years 

 1802 and 1824. The article appears, 

 in truth, to be an advertisement of a 

 piratical work much praised, against 

 which an injunction lias since been 

 obtained in Chancery. 



Rcliquiai Hearnianne, or the Ge- 

 nuine Remains of Thomas Hearnc,

As a contrast to the intemperate 

 spirit of resistance evinced in Janmica, 

 Barbadoes, and other islands, to the 

 attempts making by the I'^nglish go- 

 vernment to ameliorate tlu^ condition 

 of the West Indian slaves, we are 

 happy to re|)ort, that the more enlight- 

 ened le;;islative assembly of Tobago 

 have passed a bill for abolishing the 

 Sund;iy markets, to which the slaves 

 have, lor want of any other opportu- 

 nity, been forced to resort ; and have 

 set apart the Thursday in each week 

 for this purpose, and for the negroes 

 1o cultivate tlieir allotted provision- 

 grounds. They have made the tcsli- 



i6l 



mony of two slaves, of good character, 

 siifficient evidence against their mas- 

 ters in legal proceedings; Ne^lrbes 

 accused of capital crimes are to be 

 trie'd* by the same codi-ts as the free 

 inhabitants, and are liable only io 

 similar punishments. For lesser crimts 

 the punishment is not to exceed twenty 

 stripes, in any case, from the hand of 

 the master ; or more than twelve 

 stripes', nnlcss some other white pefsOn 

 be present to witness the inflictitrti. 

 Tiie personal property of the slaves is 

 to remain secured to them, and the 

 expenses of |)rosecuting those who 

 ofiend against the laws are to be borrte 

 by the colony. We heartily w ish suc- 

 cess to these humane and just mea- 

 sures, and hope the same may speedily 

 occasion similar measures to be adopt- 

 ed in others of the islands.
