Sobre IBD

This 'History of Cuba' was originally a series of notes from Maturin M. Ballou’s journal which he kept whilst living on Cuba. The author felt certain that despite the swiftness with which this was written it was of great interest to readers because:'So critically is the island now situated, in a political point of view, that ere this book shall have passed through an edition, it may be no longer a dependency of Spain, or may have become the theatre of scenes to which its former convulsions shall bear no parallel.'This edition comes with several illustrations showing a variety of sights of Cuba such as for example the entrance to the habour of Havana.
