Description
Excerpt from History of the Island of St. Helena
IN the present state of philosophic inquiry, nothing that relates to the productions of nature, the progress of manners, or the conduct of human life, seems trivial or unimportant. The remotest and most minute portions of the globe are made the objects of political and scientific research: and if the magnitude of our commerce ''with India he considered of'' essential benefit to the nation, and the convenience and advantage St. Helena affords, in facilitating and giving securityto our imports from the East, be well understood, an account of that island may have some claim to acceptance. Even as a singular phenomenon on the-face of nature, its annals may not be unworthy of regard.
