1794AQ30515Saint Jago de la Vega: Printed by David Dickson for Thomas Stevenson Stationer Kingston 1794. 146pp 14. With two hand-coloured engraved leaves of plates depicting 'Signals for distinguishing the Several Packets on the Falmouth Station' bound in before title. Variously interleaved at front with numerous blanks at end inserted some of which removed. Contemporary perhaps original gilt-tooled wallet-format calf over card boards the fold-over flap missing but with an open fore-edge to upper board with marbled paper-lined pocket. Rubbed and marked with some occasional staining sometimes rather unsightly to text childish pen and pencil trials to endpapers engraved signals largely erased and some blank- interleaving or areas of text. Occasional manuscript correction to text. Bifolium G3-4 detached from the binding. A rare Jamaican-printed almanac - with the original engraved signals leaves apparently issued only in this edition - featuring an early example of West-Indian Hebrew printing. Almanacs were apparently first issued in Jamaica during the 1760s printed by Weatherby & McCann Walker & Strupar Douglass and Aikman and later Alexander Aikman alone at Kingston. The rival New Jamaica Almanack and Register first appeared in the same city in 1788 printed by Bennett and Dickson for the stationer Thomas Stevenson of King Street. From 1791 this same title was printed by David Dickson alone at Spanish Town Saint Jago de la Vega. This is definitely not the second appearance of a Dickson printed almanac either printed at Kingston or Spanish Town editions for 1791 1792 and 1793 are known for example with the Saint Jago de la Vega imprint despite the title designation. In addition to providing a calendar specifically for use in the colony noting for example the dates of various Jamaican assizes these eighteenth-century almanacks are perhaps best known for their inclusion of some of the earliest examples of printing with Hebrew type - specifically produced for the use of the largest Jewish community in the Atlantic outside of London - in the Western hemisphere significantly predating any American-printed Hebrew calendar. This is displayed in this edition as a final calendar leaf headed 'Of Months Sabbaths and Holidays which the Hebrews or Jews observe and keep for the Years 5554 an 5555 of the Creation'. Whilst much of the remainder of the first half of the volume relates to British government and administration the first 30pp of the second half includes a description of the geography and history of Jamaica and excerpts various commercial treaties applicable including the 'Act for regulating the Commerce with America' and notes the duties due to the Receiver-General for landing traded goods. Rather disturbingly this includes the government duty of £2 'per head' imposed upon the importers of enslaved Africans. Fully 44 further pages headed 'Jamaica Lists' relate to the civil administration and military establishments of the colony including lists of officials and appointees headed by the then Lt.-Governor Major General Adam Williamson. Included in this section are extensive details on the economic output of the plantations of the island grouped by parish within different counties often revealing the extent of enslavement. Thus St. George is noted as housing '19 Sugar Works and 5 more settling 90 other Settlements 7000 Slaves and 4500 Cattle' whilst Trewlawny housed '86 Sugar Works 126 other Settlements 27000 Slaves and 15000 Cattle'. Copies of the Dickson-printed almanacks printed during the final decade of the eighteenth- century are known with and without maps. There is none present here but equally there is no obvious absence of such. However the only reference we can find to any edition of an almanac with engravings of signals flags as here is in the 1794 edition; indeed the foot of the first of the two engraved leaves notes that it was 'Engraved for the New Jamaica Almanac 1794'. Given the increasingly visible presence of Royal Naval ships in the West Indies due to action taken against French colonies in the War of the First Coalition it is entirely possible that the signals were placed in some copies of the 1794 New Jamaican Almanack instead of the map. OCLC locates three copies worldwide Temple with a map and two at Yale one without a map or signals wanting pp81-102 and possibly pp.145-6; and another without map but with the signals.

Generally very good. <br /><br /><p>Very rare with one recorded copy in Bordeaux of a detailed and lively account of this French expedition against Jamaica during the Nine Years War comprising a string of brutal attacks over the summer of 1694 led by Jean-Baptiste Du Casse. Appointed Governor of Saint-Domingue in 1691 Du Casse had earlier in his career been involved with the slave-trading Compagnie du Senegal and had served throughout the Atlantic world in various capacities including as admiral and privateer. Very familiar with the Caribbean and the ways of the filibusterers and buccaneers operating there he was the best candidate for the difficult job of rallying competing interests to align with those of <i>la France d'outre-mer </i>at a time when funding from France was scarce with Louis XIV distracted by the War of the League of Augsburg closer to home. </p><p>In brief 3 French warships accompanied by numerous transport ships under the command of Captain Rollon were sent to Saint Dominique to provide support to the colonists against the Spanish in neighboring Hispaniola. Soon after their arrival they were reassigned by Du Casse to cruise off Jamaica in early April 1694 where they eventually landed at Port Morant on the eastern coast of the island. Over a period of six to seven weeks they ravaged plantations destroyed over 50 sugar-works and kidnapped hundreds of slaves along with killing and torturing numerous English colonists. Soon to follow Du Casse assembling a small fleet of colonial brigantines and sloops embarked from Saint Dominique with 1500 men for Jamaica. He set sail down the southern coast to Carlisle Bay en route to Spanish Town which he planned to plunder. However a militia company of planters and slaves successfully defended their ground and Du Casse withdrew to St. Dominque but not before destroying Carlisle Bay. "The expeditions richest prize was undoubtedly the 1300 to 3000 captured slaves who proved crucial to the immediate future prosperity of the French colony" Pritchard p. 318 where our narrator points out they could be sold for 60 to 120 piastres each.</p><p>Narrated chronologically the eye-witness account gives vivid testimony to the preparations execution and aftermath of the expedition against Jamaica over the spring and summer months and into the fall of 1694 touching on the internal state of martial affairs between the Spanish and French on the divided island they occupied together. The narrator's lively digressions and personal reflections leave no doubt that he was on the spot when he comments on the disease probably Yellow Fever which ravaged the crews the tremors under foot which incited fear of another earthquake like the one which flattened Port Royal two years before the unexpected collateral encounters and skirmishes with the English in the area related through colorful anecdotes and the general atmosphere of depravation of the crews and the weakness of the Saint Dominique defenses against incursion by the Spanish as a result in large part to the lack of sufficient material support coming from France. </p><p>"If Du Casse could declare the attack on Jamaica a success the same conclusion could not be made by the navy. By August sickness was swiftly reducing crew numbers. <i>Le Solide</i> which had been long in the Islands was immediately sent back to France her crew being too diminished for further use. <i>Le Téméraire</i> had lost 50 of her best sailors and the captain of the English prize now called <i>Le Faucon</i> had died.
