but recently arrived, are extremely annoyed 

 by their filthy and monftrous appearance. 



Perhaps nature has not forrned, nor car* 

 the human mind conceive an obje£t at once fo 

 difgufting, and fo pitiable, as an old half-famifh- 

 ed negro woman — of wJtheredframe — tottering 

 and trembling about with her loofe and naked 

 fkin hanging fhrivelled in deep furrowed 

 wrinkles ; and dragging after her one or both 

 legs grown into an immenfe bulk of hideous 

 difeafe — her feet only toes, protruding from, 

 this huge mafs of diftempered leg. Yet fuch, 

 are the objefts too often feen hobbling about; 

 the ftreets of Bridge-town !
