True and Exact History of Barbadoes " (London, 1650). From this work Steele drew the facts for his tale of " Inkle and Yarico " in the " Spectator." Yarico was one of Ligon's Indian slaves. The Abbe Raynal has also drawn largely on the same author in his " Histoire philosophique des Indes," and the Englishman, Inkle, and his victim, Yari- co, have been the subjects of several romances.
