ABSTRACT

No part of the dominions under the British crown surpasses Guiana in the commdiousness of its situation for commerce, and in maritime strength, in diversity of soil and luxuriant vegetation, as conducing to national prosperity, and in the connecting the interior with the coast regions, to make these treasures available to the fullest extent. In the foregoing remarks I have given a general outline of the productions of this rich and beautiful country, and it is now my intention to state how far its capabilities and resources might prove of advantage to colonists and the mother country, and its riches be made subservient to the wants of mankind in general.
