New Haven/London, Yale/Oxford University Press, 1914. (Introduction by Charles M. Andrews. A table of contents starts on p. xi. This text is valuable
for its extensive account of the first and only attempt by English settlers to establish a foothold in Hispaniola, in the portion comprising modern
Haiti. A small English settlement was established in 1630 on the island of Tortuga, which is two miles off the northern coast of Hispaniola and
strategically located relative to the Western Passage. The settlement lasted for only a decade, till 1640, when a French naval force took Tortuga {fr. L’Isle
des Porceaux} and began French occupation of the western half of Hispaniola, which became their fabulously wealthy colony of Saint Domingue.)
