Note 8 — Theophilus G. Steward. The Message of San Domingo to the African Race

"The West Indies and Louisiana in one hemisphere, in the other the Cape of Good Hope, Egypt and a portion of India, with St. Helena and Malta as ports of call—of this he dreamed, but the failure to secure San Domingo and England's evident intention to keep Malta, combined to topple the whole cloud castle into ruins?" "The magnificent French plan of American colonization having lost the supports of both San Domingo and Louisiana, collapsed leaving no trace." —Page 289 et seq.
