The Present State of Hayti (Saint Domingo) with Remarks on its Agriculture, Commerce, Laws, Religion, Finances, and Population

Description

Step back in time with James Franklin's comprehensive 18th-century survey of Saint Domingo, now Haiti, at a pivotal moment in colonial history. As a merchant with firsthand knowledge of the island's economy, Franklin offers an insider's perspective on the systems that shaped the Caribbean. This is not just a historical text; it is a primary source document that captures the complexities of the era's legal and social structures.\n\nThrough detailed chapters on agriculture, commerce, laws, religion, and population, Franklin reconstructs the colonial order with the precision of a merchant and the insight of a chronicler. His observations on the island's finances and the religious landscape provide a rare window into the colonial Caribbean's social fabric.
