** Whether we take into view the great mercantile importance of 

 the subject embraced in the volume before us, or the manner in which 

 it is treated by the author, this volume may be considered one of the 

 most valuable books that has yet issued from the press connected with 

 Colonial interests. Indeed, we know not any greater service we could 

 render the West India interest, than in recommending the study of 

 Mr Porter's volume." — Spectator. 



We can conscientiously recommend this important and excellent 

 work." — Edijiburgh Literary Journal.
