Excerpt from Notes on Cuba: Containing an Account of Its Discovery and Early History; A Description of the Face of the Country, Its Population, Resources, and Wealth; Its Institutions, and the Manners and Customs of Its Inhabitants; With Directions to Travellers Visiting the Island
It is not alone to the invalid that a visit to Cuba is desirable. He who seeks only pleasure from travelling, should not fail to visit a country within a week's journey of his own, where the tropical scenery, bringing to mind all he has read of Oriental lands, and a people preserving all the habits of their parent countries - the polished Spaniard and the rude African barba rian, fresh from his wild forests - will amply repay him for the inconveniences of a short sea-voyage. The facilities of trav elling also are such, that he may traverse a large portion of the country Without possessing more than a limited knowledge of the language while not a word is required to enable him to visit all the usual resorts of strangers.
