CHAPTER IX.
CONTAINS AN ACCOUNT OF THE DIVISION OF THE ISLAND INTO PARISHES AND TOWNS, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF ITS CAPITAL, THE PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS, FORTIFICATIONS, AND HARBOUR; TOGETHER WITH OBSERVATIONS ON PRINCE RUPERT'S BAY, AND THE GRAND SAVANNAH IN THAT ISLAND.
DOMINICA is divided into ten pariſhes, viz. Saint Mark's, Saint Luke's, Saint Paul's, Saint Peter's, Saint John's, Saint George's, Saint Andrew's, Saint David's, Saint Patrick's, and Saint Joſeph's. In each of theſe pariſhes a ſpot of land is marked out for building a town on, which was appropriated to that purpoſe by the Commiſſioners on the firſt ceſſion of the country to England; but few of them have more than two or three ſmall mean houſes on them, and therefore do not deſerve further notice.
