St. Thomas in the Eaft. As yet it has not undergone any analyfis : 

 But there is every reafon to believe, that it will prove, upon ex- 

 periment, not to differ much from the Eaftern medicinal flream ; 

 and, in this event, that it will be of the utmoft utility to the pa- 

 rifhioners, and indeed deferving of every public and private encou- 

 ragement in order that its falutary effedts may be rendered more 

 acceffible and diifufive. 



The other articles froport'ionahly^ p. 229.] Dr. Campbell, in his 

 Political Survey of Great-Britain, &c. vol. II. p. 666, has favoured 

 us with a lift of the exports from this illand in the year 1770, with 

 their value. The latter, however, is rated arbitrarily; which muft 

 always be the cafe in fuch calculations, though probably not va-

 it will be at the fame time coufidered, that the articles of 

 Indigo, 

 Tortoifefhell, 

 Zebra-wood, 

 Lignum-vitcef 

 Brafiletto, 

 Fuftic, 



Logwood, and fome few others, befides 

 Bullion, 

 are not enumerated, though a large allowance is due to them.
