Sabin A dictionary of books relating to America 14318. Catalogue of the Goldsmiths’ library of economic literature 24940. The first edition, published anonymously. A second edition was published ”with additions” in the same year. In the second edition, a few paragraphs from the first chapter were censored, probably by initiative of the family. There are claims that only half a dozen copies survived of this first edition, but that is probably not true. Henry Nelson Coleridge (1798-1843), the nephew and son-in-law (he married his cousin) of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, was plagued with spinal problems and rheumatism throughout his life. The purpose of his six-month voyage around the Caribbean, although ostensibly for his health, was a futile attempt by the family to break off his engagement to his cousin Sara. Coleridge’s thinly disguised references to his intended punctuate this light-hearted account. Coleridge compares and contrasts twelve different islands, providing detailed descriptions of the landscape, vegetation and animal life, and the different customs of the inhabitants. The final chapter deals with the plantation owners and slaves, and indeed he soon became convinced by the abolitionists’ arguments and supported the call for an end to slavery.
