Excerpt from A Roving Commission: Or Through the Black Insurrection at Hayti

Old age; hardships and fevers had swept them away wholesale; the trade Of the island dwindled almost to nothing; and at last the condition of the negroes in Hayti has fallen to the level of that of the savage African tribes. Unless some strong white power should occupy the island and enforce law and order, sternly repress crime, and demand a certain amount of labour from all able-bodied men, there seems no hope that any ameli oration can take place in the present situation.
