Item
Identifier: MS.14194
Scope and Contents
The paper is watermarked 1851 but reference to the destruction of Point à Pître by an earthquake (folio 104) suggest that some of the journeys described took place in 1843.
The author, an Anglican clergyman, served on St Lucia (the scenery, fauna and religious beliefs of which he describes at some length) for 18 months before travelling with his wife to North Carolina and thence to New York.
