The book provides a detailed exploration of Dominica's geographical features, climate, resources, and colonial history, emphasizing its importance to Britain during a period of territorial conflict in the West Indies. Including an analysis of the island's natural productions and the customs of its inhabitants, this work aims to highlight Dominica's potential for development and prosperity. The opening of the book begins by lamenting the lack of attention given to Dominica, despite its prospects as a significant British possession. Atwood outlines the island's geographical location, dimensions, and distinctive climate, which allow it to sustain a variety of flora and fauna. He also discusses its colonial history, noting its conquest by French forces and eventual restoration to British control. The author emphasizes that despite the island's potential, it remains largely unsettled and underdeveloped, expressing his hope that the publication of this history will inspire greater interest and investment in Dominica's future.
