ABSTRACT
The next that present themselves are the Caribbee Islands so called in General, because inhabired, by Cannibals or Man-eating People at the first discovery, as the word Caribes imports. They lie extended like a Bow from the Coast of Paria to the Isle of Porto Rica many in number, twenty seaven of them known by proper names, in nine whereof the English are concerned namely Barbuda, Anguilla, Montserrat, Dominica, St Vincent, Antego, Mevis or Nevis, St Christophers and Barbadoes; Of which I shall give a brief Account as to the Natives, Birds, Beasts, Fishes, Monsters and other Remarkable in each as I pass along, which may be very divertive to the Reader.
