The account of the visit of Tristan DíAcunha is very interesting, but the inhabitants seem to have been in poor circumstances, and most of them were desirous of leaving; only a small proportion of the island was habitable, and even in this small area the ground had already become impoverished.î - Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn, p.628.
