Aimes, Hubert Hillary S. History of slavery in Cuba, 1511–1868. **$2. Putnam.
7–23727.
From a economic, political and social standpoint, this work is an exposition of the Spanish policy governing the slave trade in Cuba; and it throws much light on the historical relations between Spain and her Antillean dependency. A later work is promised dealing with the domestic régime on the island. A bibliography adds to the value of the book.
