Emancipation in the West Indies Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2011
We have in our possession a number of official documents from gentlemen, officers of the government, and variously connected with its administration, in the different islands which we visited: some of these–such as could not be conveniently incorporated into the body of the work–we insert in the form of an appendix. To insert them all, would unduly increase the size of the present volume. Those not embodied in this appendix, will be published in the periodicals of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
