Poems, essays, satires, and letters in the style of "The Spectator" provide an authentic portrait of many aspects of life in 18th-century Barbados in this anthology of writings drawn from newspapers, journals, and society newsletters of the time.

This second volume provides glimpses into daily Barbadian life represented in the "Barbados Mercury" and "Barbados Gazette."
