EXPEDITION TO SURINAM. 



by all ranks without exception; who forefeeing our 

 approaching calamities, crouded my barge with the 

 beft commodities they had to prefent, which they 

 infifted upon my accepting. But the reader will 

 have a better idea of the liberality of my benefadlors 

 from the following lift, than from any encomiums 

 which I could pafs upon it : 



124 Bottles of beft claret, 

 1 2 Ditto of Madeira, 

 12 Ditto of Englifh porter, 

 1 2 Ditto of Englifli cyder, 

 1 2 Ditto of Jamaica rum, 



2 Iwftrge loaves of white fugar, 



2 Gallons of brandy. 



6 Botdes of mufcadel, 

 a Gallons of lemon-juice, 

 2 Gallons of ground coffee, 

 2 Large Weftphalia hams, 

 2 Salted bullocks tongues, 

 I Bottle of Durham muftard, 

 6 Dozen of fpermaceti candles. 



From this fpecimen the reader will eafilj^ j^erceive, 

 that if fome of the iilhabitants of the colony of Su- 

 rinam fhew themfelves the difgrace of the creation, by 

 their cruelties and brutality, others, by their hofpitality 

 and focial feelings, approve themfelves an ornament to 

 the human fpecies. — With this inftance of virtue and 

 generofity, I therefore conclude this chapter ; and truft 

 I fliall ever be found more ready to record the good 

 aaions of my fellow-creatures, than to remark their 

 defeats.
