Excerpt from Antigua and the Antiguans, Vol. 1 of 2: A Full Account of the Colony and Its Inhabitants From the Time of the Caribs to the Present Day, Interspersed With Anecdotes and Legends; Also, an Impartial View of Slavery and the Free Labour Systems
Having been resident in Antigua both before and after the passing of the Emancipation Act, and having had ample opportunity of judging of the practical effects of that memorable event, the observations I have made with relation to it may not be considered altogether unimportant.
