Item description from seller

x + 427pp. 1st ed., title page repaired otherwise clean in modern quarted calf binding. Parke was appointed to the Leeward Islands by Queen Anne through the influence of the churchills. His reforms to the administration of the islands met with violent resistance in Antigua. Parke was murdered by the insurgents but his killers went unpunished as his death coincided with the return of a Tory government in sympathy with the settlers. Rare.
