This wide-ranging history of the West Indies was originally published in 1793, and is here presented in the five- volume edition of 1819. As a planter, Edwards is particularly concerned with agriculture, commerce and the question of slavery, but also includes history, anthropology, politics and colonial affairs.

This 1797 history of the uprising of slaves in the French colony of St Domingo (now Haiti) was written by a West Indian planter, who opposed abolition. He dwells on the atrocities committed by the slaves, but attributes the rebellion to French misrule, from which Britain must learn.
