“...Governor and a House of Assembly consisting of twenty- four members, elected annually by the people on the basis of a moderate franchise. At general elections to the latter body there is frequently no contest, a fact which speaks volumes for the con- tented state of the inhabitants, who prefer to devote their time to the development of the island rather than to political strife, an example which might with advantage be followed elsewhere. Next to the House of Commons and the House of Assembly in Bermuda, the Barbados House of Assembly is the most ancient legislative body in British dominions.

“...192 GUIDE TO THE WEST INDIES island and built a fort there at an earlier date, the English undoubtedly formed the first settle- ment in St. Lucia. The crew of the Olive Blossom, after visiting Barbados, called there; and in 1638 settlers from Bermuda and St. Kitts, under the command of Captain Judlee, landed in the island ; but they had trouble with the natives, who killed their Governor and drove them from the island. In 1650 Du Parquet bought St. Lucia, and sent forty settlers to it under Rousselan, who married a Carib woman, thereby establishing cordial rela- tions with the natives. On his death, however, they murdered three of his successors before the treaty of 1660 was settled, securing the Caribs from interference in Dominica and St. Vincent on condition of their keeping the peace elsewhere. In 1664 Lord Willoughby sent 1000 Barbadians to the island, defraying their expenses out of the 4h Per cent, export duty, which for many years was a grievance of the Barbadians. The French were...”

“...colonies, by the excessive infant mortality among the negroes. Columbus discovered Antigua on his second History, voyage in 1493, and christened it after Sta. Maria la Antigua, a church in Seville. In 1629 D’Esnambuc made an abortive attempt to settle the island, but he was driven away by want of water, and it was not settled until 1632, when some English from St. Kitts established themselves there. During the Commonwealth it remained Royalist, and was included with Virginia, Bar- bados, and Bermuda in the Imperial Act of 1650, which prohibited trade with those dependencies on account of their rebellious attitude towards the home Government. Lord Willoughby of Parham, lessee of the patent left by Lord Carlisle to his son, visited the Leeward Islands from Barbados in 1650, and encouraged them to resist the Commonwealth. He was compelled to relinquish the government of the islands in 1652, but he returned in 1663 after the Restoration, and governed until 1666, when he was lost at sea, and...”
