FOOTNOTES:
[1] I have made use of this spelling, from the word cocoa being applied in the English language indiscriminately to that tree and to the cacao; and as we most probably derived the word from the Portuguese language, it may perhaps not be considered improper to distinguish the two plants in this manner.
[2] A house answering both these purposes has lately been established at Recife by an Irishman and his wife. 1815.
[3] It is perhaps not generally known, that the bags of cotton are compressed, by means of machinery, into a small compass, and fastened round with ropes, that the ships which convey them may contain a greater number.
[4] I did not discover any vestiges of the fort which stood here at the time of the Dutch war.
