Mission Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 This is a kind of nice description of an island town. It's from The Memoirs of Pére Labat 1693-1705, translated and edited by John Eaden. “Bridgetown [barbados] is a fine large town and the streets are straight, wide and clean. The houses are all well built in the English fashion with many glass windows, and are splendidly furnished. In a word, they have an appearance of dignity, refinement and order, that one does not see in the other islands and which indeed would be hard to find anywhere. The Town Hall is a very fine, nicely decorated building. The shops and stores are full of everything one could wish to buy, and their goods come from all parts of the world. The are a number __ of goldsmiths, jewelers, clockmakers, and other artisans who drive a thriving trade and appear to be very comfortably off, and the largest business in ‘America’ is carried on in this town.” (Labat, p. 120-1) And for our Governor: "The Governor's house is a magnificent building and exceedingly well furnished, and stands about three hundred paces from the beach. It contains a library books on all kinds of subjects, which appear to be well selected and are kept in good order. The jetty is opposite the house and is defended by a battery of six cannons with a guardroom and a retrenchment." (Labat, p. 122) And I highlighted this for some reason, so I'm going to post it too: "It is two and a half leagues from 'Jamestown' to 'Speightown.' The latter is a charming little town, in which the houses are well built and the streets straight and wide with plenty of shops and carbarets. Vessels can anchor in the bay in from twelve to six fathoms and are well protected from every quarter except due west. There is a battery on each arm of the bay. The battery on the eastern arm has sixteen cannons, the one on the west twelve." (Labat, p. 123) And for Sterling, "The houses on the plantations are even better built than those in the towns. They are large in size, have numerous glass windows, and have fine rooms that are conveniently arranged. Nearly all the houses have avenues of tamarinds, or shaddocks, or other trees which make the temperature cool and the houses toutes riantes. One observes the wealth and good taste of the inhabitants in their furniture, which is very fine, and their silver, of which they have so large a quantity that were this island to be sacked the silver alone would be worth more than the value of several galleons. This enterprise indeed would not be as difficult as it appears. All that is necessary to ensure making a landing and routing the English would be to collect some 5,000 of our Creols __ and filibusters and a dozen warships." (Labat, p. 128-9) So Labat is a spy! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
