 in the same locality had formed themselves into
a society, with the object of inspecting each other's estates. A
committee of three was named in each case by the president; and this
committee, after surveying the estate in question, and looking at the
works and stock, drew up a paper, either laudatory or the reverse,
which paper was afterwards read to the society. These readings took
place after the breakfast, and the breakfast was held monthly. To the
planter probably the reading of the documents was the main object. It
may not be surprising that I gave the preference to the breakfast,
which of its kind was good.

But this was not the only breakfast of the sort at which I was
allowed to be a guest. The society has always its one great monthly
breakfast; but the absolute inspection gives occasions for further
breakfasts. I was also at one of these, and assisted in inspecting
the estate. There were, however, too many Barbadians present to
permit of my producing my individual views respecting the Guiana
improvements.

The report is made at the time of the inspection, but it is read in
public at the monthly meeting. The effect no doubt is good, and the
publicity of the approval or disapproval stimulates the planter.
But I was amused with the true Barbadian firmness with which the
gentlemen criticised declared that they would not the less take
their own way, and declined to follow the advice offered to them in
the report. I heard two such reports read, and in both cases this
occurred.

All this took place at Hookleton cliff, which the Barbadians regard
as the finest point for scenery in the island. The breakfast I own
was good, and the discourse useful and argumentative. But as regards
the scenery, there is little to be said for it, considering that I
had seen Jamaica, and was going to see Trinidad.

Even in Barbados, numerous as are the <DW64>s, they certainly live an
easier life than that of an English labourer, earn their money with
more facility, and are more independent of their masters. A gentleman
having one hundred and fifty families living on his property would
not expect to obtain from them the labour of above ninety men at
the usual rate of pay, and that for not more than five days a week
in the same locality had formed themselves into 
 a society, with the aim of audit each other's estates. A 
 committee of three was name in each lawsuit by the president; and this 
 committee, after surveying the estate of the realm in question, and looking at the 
 works and stock certificate, drew up a paper, either laudatory or the reversion, 
 which paper was afterwards read to the society. These recitation took 
 place after the breakfast, and the breakfast was held monthly. To the 
 planter probably the reading of the document was the main object. It 
 may not be surprising that I gave the predilection to the breakfast, 
 which of its kind was good. 

 But this was not the only breakfast of the kind at which I was 
 allowed to be a node. The society has always its one great monthly 
 breakfast; but the absolute inspection gives occasions for further 
 breakfast. I was also at one of these, and assisted in inspecting 
 the estate. There were, however, too many Barbadians present to 
 license of my producing my individual views respecting the Guiana 
 improvements. 

 The report is made at the time of the inspection, but it is read in
