St, one of the Caribbee islands, in America, lying on the north-west of Nevis, and about 60 miles west of Antigua. It was formerly inhabited by the French and English; but, in 1713, it was ceded entirely to the latter. In 1782, it was taken by the French, but restored to Britain at the peace. It is about fifteen miles in breadth, and four in length, and contains 43,726 acres. It has high mountains in the middle, whence rivulets run down. Between the mountains are horrid precipices, and thick woods. The population was computed by Bryan Edwards in 1794 to be 4000 whites and 21,000 negroes. The air is good; the soil light, sandy, and fruitful; but the island is subject to hurricanes. The produce is chiefly sugar, cotton, ginger, indigo, and the tropical fruits. W. Long. 62. 32. N.
