In this eye-witness history of Barbados, Ligon gives perhaps the earliest account of attempts at sugar manufacture. His description of a plantation indicates the size and complexity of the estates acquired in Barbados by subtle and greedy' planters, even in the early days of the industry.
In this facsimile of the 1673 second edition, the author describes his experiences in Barbados in the late 1640s and provides extensive descriptions of trees and other plants. Other topics include the lives of the natives, the expenses of plantation overseers, and the island's food and drink, government, flowers and herbs, and mines. The illustrations include line drawings of trees and other plants, architectural diagrams of a sugar curing house, and a large map that includes the names of the plantation owners of the time. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
