Drawn from actual and long continued observation, this work will be found to contain the most complete view that has yet appeared of every thing connected with our West Indian Colonies.
[Transcriber’s Note]
Every effort has been made to replicate the text as faithfully as possible. However, obvious typographical errors were repaired, as listed below. Other apparent archaic spellings, inconsistencies or errors have been retained. Although inconsistencies with hyphens have been retained, other obvious punctuation and spacing errors have been repaired. If there has been doubt as to whether a word originally hyphenated over the line should retain that hyphenation, it has been retained.
Use of the word “volume” in reference to citations has been made consistent.
Often in the text, possessive pronouns appear with an apostrophe. This convention has been retained.
In the original text, captions for the illustrations are contained within the body of the text, identified by use of small capitals. Often, illustrations interrupt paragraphs. Both of these conventions have been retained in this e-text.
Some images have been rotated 90° for reader convenience.
Headings of balance sheets have been streamlined for online viewing.
[Page xiv], Item 46 cites [Page 604], but the corresponding illustration is on [Page 606]. The link to the page has been adjusted, but the text has been left as printed.
