Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Jamaica History These studies have been published with the double object of attempting to interest the people of Jamaica in the story of their own island, and of providing particulars of a few of the epochs in its history for the tourists and others who year by year visit its shores. It is also hoped that they may, perchance, appeal to some other of the inhabitants of that Empire of which Jamaica forms a small but very loyal part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Jamaica IN the year 1900 the present writer published a small volume entitled Studies in Jamaica History, giving the records of certain historic sites in the colony. In its issue of October 27, 1908, the Editor of the West India Committee Circular, commenting on the appoint ment of a Royal Commission to enumerate and report upon the historical monuments in England, drew attention to the need for the preservation of historic sites and buildings in the West Indies, and stated that a letter on the subject had been addressed by the West India Committee to the Colonial Office. On November 24 he was able to state that the Secretary of State for the Colonies (the Earl of Crewe) sympathised with the object of the West India Committee and had forwarded their representations to the governors of the various West Indian colonies, recommending them to their consideration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Jamaica, Vol. 1 In that portion of the work which has unavoidably extended beyond the limits of a note, comprehending a sketch of slavery, I am not ignorant that, in strictly adhering to the truth of history, the result of my eu quiries may affect the interests of some, and clash with the Opinions of others. Yet those enquiries have been pursued without prejudice or partiality. Authentic facts alone have been reported, and such conclusions drawn from them as experience may jus tify, and reason approve. The course of events which is rapidly changing the important features of the ecclesiastical establishment of Jamaica, must ne cessarily leave that comprehensive portion of its his tory, for the present, incomplete. And in treating, very imperfectly it must be confessed, of the natural productions of the island, I have chosen rather to select such points as may excite attention and invite research, than to describe objects already common, and productions now become familiar.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Jamaica From Its Discovery by Christopher Columbus to the Present Time: Including an Account of Its Trade and Agriculture; Sketches of the Manners, Habits, and Customs of All Classes of Its Inhabitants The sketches of the habits, manners, and customs of the people will, it is hoped, illustrate the progress which has taken place in the social life of the island; while the history of religion and education has been penned in a spirit of kindly sympathy with all earnest Christian workers. If in any quarter complaint may be made that the work does not enter so largely into certain recent occurrences as might be desired, it must be borne in mind that what is still the subject of controversy can hardly be said to belong to the domain of history'; and yet the hope is expressed that the statements made may be accepted as facts, and thus prove of value in forming a correct judgment of the true character of those painful events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twentieth Century Jamaica NO book on Jamaica, written with intimate knowledge of the country and its people, has appeared for twenty years. Sir Sydney Olivier's White Capital and Coloured Labour does not pretend to treat of Jamaica only, and is in any case con cerned mainly with the economic and political aspects of West Indian life. It is the best book of its kind on the subject, though now and then I have found myself obliged to disagree slightly with some of its conclusions. Mr Archibald Colquhoun is another writer who (in Greater America) has surveyed the West Indian question; but he has done so from what may be called the international point of view. No abler work on the future of America in the Caribbean Sea has been issued since Greater America was published; but though the author devotes a couple of chapters to Cuba, on Jamaica he writes but a sentence or two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Jamaica, Vol. 2 In the long career of vice and vigour, of error and oppression, I have at length reached the term of my labours, and have completed my design of bringing down the Annals of Jamaica, from the first blush of that morning which dawned upon the long night of transatlantic oblivion, to the present evening of its decayed and feeble existence. The tedious task of selecting from the dull mass of colonial records has not been enlivened by any hope that the public favour will be extended to my work; for its subject is unpopular, and an enlightened age requires from the historian some tincture of philosophy and criticism. I cannot, therefore, expect that the narrative will possess any interest beyond the confined circle of those who still retain a share in the soil of Jamaica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Jamaica Case: Being an Account, Founded Upon Official Documents, of the Rebellion of the Negroes in Jamaica, the Causes Which Led to It, and the Measures Taken for Its Suppression The Jamaica ease, for nearly three years, engaged public attention, and, as Mr. Cardwell Observes, caused an excite ment unprecedented in our times. It raised a controversy in which some of the most distinguished men in the' country took Opposite Sides; it caused debates in Par liament, and prosecutions in the courts, which have only recently concluded. It was fit that such a case Should be the subject of history, and it is indeed precisely such cases which, after the excitement is over, are the most fitting subjects of calm historical review. In these pages it has been attempted to supply at once a permanent record and an impartial review of the Whole case, and to afford the materials for a fair and dispassionate judgment. The Author has taken the statement of the facts, as found by the Commissioners, as the basis Of the history, and has only ventured to discuss the inferences to be drawn therefrom, or the conclusions to be founded thereon. But he has felt himself at liberty to interpret their general findings by their more particular findings, and thus to arrive at their real results. If in SO doing he shall have presumed to suggest some considerations which may not have occurred to them, or to the other high authorities who may have had to pronounce upon the case, he ventures to think that, after the lapse of time and the advantage of repeated discussions, this may not involve any presumption in him, nor any reflection upon them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliographia Jamaicensis: A List of Jamaica Books and Pamphlets, Magazine Articles, Newspapers, and Maps, Most of Which Are in the Library of the Institute of Jamaica The books have been classified under the various headings suggested by the works themselves, as well as by a study of Jamaica History. The list was originally compiled for insertion in the Jamaica Handbook for 1902. For the sake of space the titles were in some instances shortened, and the sizes of the volumes and other bibliographical information omitted. But, even when compressed as much as possible, the list was found too long for insertion in the Handbook; and it is accordingly issued in its present form. A few notes of general cross-reference have been added to the classification, but complete cross-references would be more voluminous than the list itself. All books treating on the West Indies generally could of course be fairly in cluded in a Jamaica Bibliography, but, as this would have unduly swelled the list, it has been thought advisable to include only such West Indian books as deal with Jamaica alone, adding only a few of the principal of those which deal chie y with this island. All books and pamphlets dealing solely with Jamaica have been catalogued, without reference to merit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This curiosity is both natural and laudable It prompts a man to investi gations, equally amusing and instructive. He feels, and feels justly, a consciousness of superiority over those grovelling individuals, whose weakness or de pravity lead them to neglect all those attainments, which elevate, enlarge, and purify the mind. He leaves them with pity, not unmixed with contempt, to their native state of degradation. There alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
