“... Anglicans, Presbyterians, Wesleyans, and Congrega- tionalists, besides other Christian denominations, two Roman Catholic convents, a Mohammedan mosque, and a Hindoo temple. The Ladies’ Self-Help Association, founded by Lady Egerton, wife of Sir Walter Egerton, Governor from 1912 to 1917, occupies premises in Regent Street, where curios may be purchased. The Promenade Gardens are near the centre of the city, and form with an esplanade called the Sea Wall and the Botanic Gardens, the principal afternoon resort of the people. The Sea Wall, which extends from Fort William Frederick at the mouth of the Demerara river to beyond Kitty Village on the east coast, was begun in 1858 and took thirty-four years to complete. It was built mainly by convict labour with granite brought from the penal settlement on the Mazaruni river. The excellent band of the Georgetown Militia plays at these places and the Botanic Gardens in rotation, one day a week being devoted to each. The Botanic...”

“... junction with the Mazaruni, sprang into existence during a gold boom, and was first known as Bartica Grove, from a grove of mango trees there. It is still the “ jumping off ” point for the diamond fields. Beyond it to the north-west is the Penal Settlement, for prisoners undergoing long terms of imprisonment, on the fringe of the primeval forest. From Bartica a motor-road, built with the help of a loan from the British Government in 1930, runs to Butukan, 54è miles to the south on the Essequibo River. This enables travellers to the Potaro district to avoid the falls and rapids between Bartica and Rockstone. The Marshall Falls are the first of a series of rapids encountered by diamond miners and gold-seekers travelling up the Mazaruni, where boats have to be hauled over. Barra-Carra is a picturesque little water- fall. At the confluence of the Cuyani and Mazaruni Rivers, ^ little to the south-west of the Penal Settlement, is the site of the old Dutch fort of Kyk-over-al, or...”

“... of party politics. The Liberal party which came into power in 1906 declined to allow Great Britain to be bound by the Penal Clause, and this led to the High Contracting Powers passing an Additional Act ex- empting her from her pledge to penalise bounty-fed sugar. Meanwhile Russia, the only remaining Power which had continued to give bounties on sugar, gave her adherence to the Convention, but following a drought and a crop shortage on the Continent she was, at the request of Great Britain, permitted by a Protocol to export certain quantities of bounty-fed sugar to western markets. Notwithstanding this concession, it was announced in the House of Commons on August, 1912, that the Government had decided to withdraw from the Sugar Convention as from Septem- ber 1st, 1913. The Convention was denounced by France in 1917, and in 1918 the British Government gave formal notice of the with- drawal of their pledge not to give a tariff preference to Colonial sugar. In 1919 a...”
