1786WRCAM36081Kingston Jamaica: Printed for James Jones Esq. by Lewis and Eberall 1786. v3114-424; 440pp. Quarto. Modern polished calf gilt leather label. Contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage of ACTS.: "George Harrison Lincolns Inn 1791." Titlepage worn and soiled repairs in top and bottom margin with no loss of text. Occasional minor foxing last two leaves dampstained. Small hole in leaf F with loss of a few letters. First four leaves and last four leaves of AN ABRIDGMENT. dampstained leaf aa repaired no loss of text final leaf supplied in facsimile. These exceptions noted very clean internally. A very good copy. First editions of two rare 18th-century Jamaican legal imprints. The volume was previously owned by legal author Sir George Harrison the son of Thomas Harrison who served as attorney-general and advocate- general of Jamaica. The elder Harrison's name is included in the list of subscribers for the ACTS. and father or son have made minor manuscript additions on a half dozen pages in the text. The volume records both public and private acts organized chronologically for 1770 through 1783. The ABRIDGMENT. published as a separate work with separate titlepage clearly supplements the ACTS. by listing the acts by subject and providing an index. There are numerous acts regarding slaves which provide much insight into that institution on the island including legislation regarding runaways "Free- Negroes" "Negro towns" and maroons firearms holidays and even drumming. Other acts cover a wide range of laws and activities including those related to land roads cattle gaming hawkers and pedlars the militia settlers ships and smuggling. All 18th-century Caribbean imprints are rare most are extremely so and these laws are no exception. Furthermore the majority of Caribbean printing is often ephemeral and fairly slight rather than a substantial volume such as this one. The first British colony south of Maryland to have a press printing began in Jamaica in 1718. Except for several items printed in Havana by a press briefly established there this was the first press in the Caribbean; however only a handful of fugitive pieces survive from the 1770s. In that period the economic importance of Jamaica was supplemented by an influx of Loyalists who seems to have invigorated the cultural and publishing life of the colony while the British government liberalized its colonial policy to avoid a repetition of the problems of the American Revolution. In this social and political climate these retrospective laws of the local colonial government were printed. A very good copy of two rare 18th-century Jamaican imprints with provenance related to the island and British legal history. SABIN 35617 ACTS. and ABRIDGMENT. CUNDALL SUPPLEMENT 446 447.

Near fine. All together an extraordinary collection of 18th-century Jamaican printing combining six separate imprints one of them consisting of two volumes in three bound volumes all printed between 1786 and 1789 by two different printers in Kingston Jamaica. The texts retrospectively cover the Acts of the Assembly from its beginning in 1681 up to date with the last printing in 1788. Also included are two separate publications containing abridgements of the various acts and a further separate publication combining all of the slave statutes in one place. As anyone who has sought them knows well all 18th-century Caribbean imprints are rare most extremely so and these laws are no exception. Furthermore most Caribbean printing is fairly slight not substantial volumes such as these. Printing began in Jamaica in 1718. It was the first British colony south of Maryland to have a printing press and except for several items printed in Havana by a press briefly established there this was the first press in the Caribbean; however only a handful of fugitive pieces survive from the 1770s. In that period the economic importance of Jamaica was supplemented by an influx of Loyalists including printer Alexander Aikman who seems to have invigorated the cultural and publishing life of the colony while the British government liberalized its colonial policy to avoid a repetition of the problems of the American Revolution. In that climate these retrospective and current laws of the local colonial government were printed. Of all early Caribbean printing that of Jamaica is best documented through the early and thorough work of Frank Cundall. His bibliographies illustrate both the rich variety of material printed on Jamaica and its rarity. Following are the NUC locations and citations of the laws offered herein: 1 ACTS OF ASSEMBLY 1681-1769. Kingston 1787. Not in the NUC. CUNDALL p.52. 2 ABRIDGEMENT OF LAWS. Kingston 1787.

ACCOUNT OF A SHOOTING EXCURSION ON THE MOUNTAINS NEAR DROMILLY ESTATE IN THE PARISH OF TRELAWNY AND ISLAND OF JAMAICA IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 1824!!!

1828WRCAM55095Birmingham: Printed by B. Hudson 1828. 24pp. Half title. Original printed self-wrappers stitched as issued. Some wear and tanning to half title and p.24 paper fault in upper right corner of titlepage no text affected. Very good. Second edition following the first of 1825 giving accounts of the "wanton cold-blooded" hunting of runaway slaves in Jamaica. The "shooting excursion" in the title refers to the 1824 "attack made by a party of islanders upon a long-established camp of runaway slaves who had lived peaceably for years in a forest settlement" Ragatz. The pamphlet includes summaries of the attack from the MONTEGO BAY GAZETTE CORNWALL COURIER and CORNWALL GAZETTE as well as an illustration of the camp showing the route of the attackers. The author explains that "the barbarous excursions which have been described did not owe their origin to any insurrection of the Negroes in consequence of any discussions in the British Parliament nor in consequence of any stir made by the British people in their behalf. They were as the account itself testifies wanton cold- blooded excursions on the part of the white inhabitants of Trelawny to root up a runaway settlement which had subsisted eleven years without offense or molestation to the neighbourhood" p.6. This edition includes a dismissive note on page 23 about the recently passed Consolidated Slave Act 1826 which was meant to "restrain arbitrary punishments" of slaves among other abuses. The author of the text is unknown signed only at the end in print as "Alfred." This second edition is rather scarce with only five copies listed in OCLC at Yale University of Florida Newberry Library John Carter Brown Library and the University of Manchester. RAGATZ p.409. OCLC 9563313. SABIN 35556 1825 ed. Printed by B. Hudson unknown books

A Small Place

10242New York. 1988. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374266387. 96 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. Signed by the Author. keywords: Caribbean Antigua American Literature Women. DESCRIPTION - �If you go to Antigua as a tourist this is what you will see. If you come by airplane you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall V.C. Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an air- port named after him - why not a school why not a hospital why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen. .' So begins Jamaica Kincaid's new book which shows us what we have not yet seen of the place where she grew up - a ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies. First there is the perhaps familiar aerial view of this longed-for place the disproportionately large airport the careening drive over bad roads in a Japanese taxi the dilapidated school and hospital the mockery of a library. Then there is the sea: �That water - have you ever seen anything like it Far out to the horizon the color of the water is navy blue; nearer the water is the color of the North American sky. Oh what beauty!' What follows is less familiar a new point of view for it is unlikely that on vacation you have had the time to think clearly about the people you are visiting - their colonial history their government their manners their sense of time - or about their opinion of you. You are English or European or American escaping the banality and corruption of your large place; they are Antiguan formerly British and unable to escape the same drawbacks of their own little realm. This expansive essay - lyrical sardonic and forthright by turns in a Swiftian mode - cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies. inventory #10242 hardcover
