About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1824. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX F. TREATMENT OF SLAVES *. Two publications have recently appeared, giving an account of the island of Jamaica; one written by the Rev. Richard Bickell, who resided nearly five years as a clergyman in that island; ihe other by M. De la Beche, the proprietor of a sugar estate in the parish of Clarendon, called Halse Hall, and who was on the spot during the whole of 1824. The latter gentleman appears to feel a natural leaning in favour of the community of planters, to which he himself belongs; and yet his statements wonderfully confirm those of Mr. Bickell, and of the Abolitionists generally, in all essential points. The account, indeed, which M. De la Beche gives of the management of his own estate, and which is assumed to be correct, evinces a more than usual portion of consideration for the well-being of his Slaves. Accordingly the decrease which took place during the year of bis residence was very small. In March 1823 the number returned, as being then on his estate, was 208. When he quitted the island, in December 1824, he states the number to have been 207, (96 males and 111 females, ) being a decrease of only one in about twenty-one months. It would appear, however, that previous to 1823 the decrease had been much more rapid. The return made in March 1820 states the number at that time to have been 233. Between March 1820, therefore, and March 1823, the decrease must have been no less than 25, being nearly 11 per cent, in that time. This decrease may possibly admit of some satisfactory explanation, but none is given in the pamphlet of M. De la Beche. He merely states, in general terms, that there had been "a decrease" of his '* See Report, p. 36, line 5--30. Negroes until the year ending in March 1824, but without any specification of its amount.
