Synopsis:

Excerpt from Guide to Trinidad: A Handbook for the Use of Tourism and Visitors

Although a resident in this colony of ten years' standing, I have not undertaken this task, pleasant as it has been, without serious misgivings, knowing as I do full well. That there are many far more competent than myself to do justice to this beautiful island. Trinidad is, however, daily becoming more widely appreciated, as evidenced by the increased number of visitors flocking here, and I could not help feeling that a 'guide,' simply and plainly telling what there is to see, and how to see it, would not be utterly useless.

This little handbook is not intended, in the slightest degree, to rival the excellent works already in the field. Even to disclaim this notion is so presumptuous that I would not do it did I not Wish to draw attention to the fact that if, in the course of these pages, I have awakened in the reader the desire to learn more of Trinidad, he could not do better than peruse the admirable books of Mr. Gustave Borde and Dr. De Verteuil.
