The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

CHAPTER III
8/29

Mr.T.resides in Bridgetown.

In the parlor, we met two colored gentlemen--the Rev.Mr.Hamilton, a local Wesleyan preacher, and Mr.Cummins, a merchant of Bridgetown, mentioned in a previous chapter.
We were struck with the scientific appearance of Mr.Thorne's parlor.

On one side was a large library of religious, historical and literary works, the selection of which displayed no small taste and judgment.

On the opposite side of the room was a fine cabinet of minerals and shells.
In one corner stood a number of curious relics of the aboriginal Caribs, such as bows and arrows, etc., together with interesting fossil remains.
On the tops of the book-cases and mineral stand, were birds of rare species, procured from the South American Continent.

The centre table was ornamented with shells, specimens of petrifactions, and elegantly bound books.
