An Account of the Present State of the Island of Puerto Rico is a book written by George Dawson Flinter in the year 1834. The book is a comprehensive description of the island of Puerto Rico during the early 19th century. Flinter, who was a British naval officer stationed in the Caribbean, provides a detailed account of the island's geography, climate, and natural resources.The book also contains information about the island's history, including the arrival of the Spanish colonizers and the subsequent enslavement of the indigenous Ta������no people. Flinter also describes the island's economy, which was primarily based on agriculture, with sugar being the main export.Flinter's observations about the island's society and culture are also included in the book. He writes about the racial and social hierarchies that existed on the island, with the white Spanish colonizers at the top and the enslaved Africans and indigenous people at the bottom. He also describes the island's vibrant music and dance scene, which was influenced by African and indigenous cultures.Overall, An Account of the Present State of the Island of Puerto Rico provides a valuable historical perspective on the island during a period of significant change and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
