[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Impressions and Experiences: Of the West Indies and North America in 1849 So far, therefore, from being entitled to disarm criticism by pleading, in defence of publication, a compliance with the solicitation of others, I am bound in truth to declare, that my chief motive for giving this Work to the press, is the hope, that a perusal of my "Impressions and Experiences," in the course of a voyage not frequently undertaken, will prove pleasant to many, and profitable to a few - and, more particularly, to those who may, like myself, be advised or induced to visit the West Indian Archipelago under medical advice. Add to this, that I have not been able to find, among more recent publications, one which professes to give anything approaching to what I would, call a domestic portraiture of the Islands and Islanders of the West Indian Archipelago, in their present state or condition. No doubt Mr. Coleridge's spirited little volume, published first in 1826, is somewhat of this character but Mr. Coleridge's visit to the Islands of the West Indies was made in 1825, ere steam had wrought its marvels - and, moreover, his visit was confined to a very few of the Islands. Not only so - Mr. Coleridge's narratives, graphic and amusing as they are, have but little application to the present condition of West Indian society.
