Description
Excerpt from Froudacity: West Indian Fables by James Anthony Froude
Last year had well advanced towards its middle - in fact it was already April, 1888 before Mr. Froude''s book of travels in the West Indies became known and generally accessible to readers in those Colonies.
My perusal of it in Grenada about the period above mentioned disclosed, thinly draped with rhetorical ?owers, the dark outlines of a scheme to thwart political aspiration in the Antilles. That project is sought to be realized by de terring the home authorities from granting an elective local legislature, however restricted in character, to any of the Colonies not yet en joying such an advantage. An argument based on the composition of the inhabitants of those Colonies is confidently relied upon to confirm the inexorable mood of Downing Street.
