Family Herald, whilst sneering at Mr..
FrOude'S book as a distorted picture of
what Great Britain really is, treats the
West Indies almost with client contempt.
He emphatically asserts that Mr.. FrOude
has ''never written anything quite so me,
lanchOly as his West Indian Work. but
declares that IchacOd is written over the
Wondering portals of 'the dead West In
dies" whose "commerceis gomez
The time was when English blood was
poured out like water and English money
was spent without stint for the conquest
or safe-keeping of these Islands. Now,
they are "nOthing accounted Of" But we
owe no thanks either to Mr.. FrOude or to
any Of his reviewers for spending their
time in scribbliLg JeremiadS as to our con.
ditiOn. The picture which has been pre-
scented to the English people as to the con.
ditiOn of the West Indies is indeed a "dis-
tOrted" one, and. unfortunately for the
West Indles, English people are easily
'glAt6r with anything which may be put
before them by a smart writer. Perhaps
they think that the lime has come when
the prOverbial kick should be administered
to the West Indies. For our part, we
expect no sympathy, aud we look for none.
But it will be our own fault if we do not
lay to heart the lesson which is being so
often taught us,-that "~PRovIDENcE

although they may be "some paltry
Caribbean Islands, which count in the
expanse of our Che British) Empire even
as our little planet counts in the limitle*s

Mr.. Froule's book, that it is a fraul so far
us the West Indies arc concerned. 1t

failings, whilst it entirely Omits, or slightly
notices, anything to our advantage. every
dog, however, has his day And this is
:s true of Mr.. Fr0ude, AZ OF any one else.
Our readers may have noticed Il paragraph
in our last issue, copied from the London
Times, in which MI. FrNude was represent
ed AS speaking very favOurably Of the West
Indies at II meeting of the London Chamber
of Commerce on the 9th OF last March.
This slews that Mr.. Froude, before Il Sc
lrct audience somewhat interested i'll the
Vest Indies, is ii different person from
Mr.. Froude writing to tickle the palateS
of his readers.
