Barbados is a very respectable little island, and it makes a great deal of
sugar. It is not picturesquely beautiful, as are almost all the other
Antilles. But this very absence of scenic beauty has saved it from the fate of
its neighbours. A country that is broken into landscapes, that boasts of its
mountains, woods, and waterfalls, that is regarded for its wild loveliness, is
seldom propitious to agriculture. A portion of the surface in all such regions
defies the improving farmer. But, beyond this, such ground under the tropics
offers every inducement to the black people squatter. In Jamaica, Dominica,
St. Lucia, and Grenada, the black people, when emancipated, could squat and
make himself happy; but in Barbados there was not an inch for him.
