Excerpt: ... STATISTICAL DIVISION OF THE ISLANDS PART II. H DIVISION OF THE ISLANDS. The Nine Islands are, for their political government, now divided into three states or departments, taking their respective names from the capital city of each--namely that of Ponte Delgada, composed of Santa Maria and St. Michael; that of Angra, composed of Terceira, St. George and Graciosa; and that of Horta, composed of Fayal, Pico, Flores, and Corvo--according to which order I will pursue the following individual description of the islands. CHAPTER I. THE DEPARTMENT OF PONTE DELGADA. THB ISLAND OF SAINT MARY, OR SANTA MARIA. My only view of this island was on my return with the Admiral from the blockade of Madeira, in H.M.F. Maj. Brig Villa Flor, when we watered at St. Mary's, and recruited provisions for the crew. As I have elsewhere observed, this was the firstdiscovered of the Western Islands, by Gonsalvo Velho Cabral, who gave to it the appellation of Santa Maria in celebration of the day he descried it, namely the fifteenth of August, the festival of the assumption of the Virgin Mary. By Henry I, this great navigator was rewarded for his success by being made lord of the manor (or donatario*) * By virtue of a royal grant these donatarios or colony-founders enjoyed, for a stipulated number of generations, as a compensaof the whole island--which he colonized, cultivated, and some years after resided on, continuing from thence to explore the adjacent seas in search of other islands. It descended afterwards to the successive branches of his family until the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy under the Duke of Braganza, who then usurped the hereditary right conferred by Henry on the family of Cabral, and portioned the island out to the new favorites among his nobility.
