Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Jamaica, Vol. 1 Of all the various descriptions of literature History has ever been esteemed the most instructive the most liberal, and the most amusing; and that the history of our own country deserves our first and best attention, is a proposition which can require neither argument nor illustration. Although these Western Isles may seem to afford but little scope for historical research, and their domestic institutions are unhappily founded upon a system repugnant to the spirit of the times we live in; yet even that system has become interesting, since it was fostered and encouraged as a source of national wealth and naval power. Human foresight, it is true, could not anticipate the experience of two hundred years. It was enough for mortal statesmen to consult the wishes, and promote the happiness of their own age; while the system, objectionable as it may now appear, still rests upon the surest of all foundations - the security of public faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ...persisting in the legitimate, or unjust persecution of the refractory attorney-general, was reluctantly dissolved by proclamation. The high office of attorney-general seems to have been an object of popular and peculiar jealousy. Either the individuals who successively filled, or the parties who constantly opposed it, must have been influenced by very unworthy motives. At the distance of a century it is unfair to judge harshly of either party; for it may be observed, that single acts of virtue and of vice can seldom be weighed against ach other; but as it is possible, and barely possible, that truth and justice may be supported by means most adverse to their nature, we may be allowed to pause before we pronounce either Kelly guilty, or the Assembly oppressive. At a period of doubt and distraction, when the attorney-general was, I believe universally, a member of Assembly, he might be an object of suspicion, as a vigilant spy and a diligent reporter to the Governor, into whose most secret councils his office admitted him. He might have betrayed that trust, or he might have been a traitor to the Assembly. It was an office difficult, if not impossible, to execute with satisfaction to both parties; and it was afterwards attached to the intermediate branch of the legislature, where it is independent of either, but connected with both. It is far more easy to fall below, than to rise above, the common level of morality; and although a few guilty days may perhaps be found in the annals of Jamaican jurisprudence, yet, in the general tenour of their conduct, the high offices of colonial justice have been filled by men virtuous, temperate, and skilful, --the friends of humanity and the protectors of the people. A tremendous hurricane now added..

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.

Download or read book Caribbean Middlebrow written by Belinda Edmondson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly assumed that Caribbean culture is split into elite highbrow culture--which is considered derivative of Europe--and authentic working-class culture, which is often identified with such iconic island activities as salsa, carnival, calypso, and reggae. This book recovers a middle ground, a genuine popular culture in the English-speaking Caribbean that stretches back into the nineteenth century. It shows that popular novels, beauty pageants, and music festivals are examples of Caribbean culture that are mostly created, maintained, and consumed by the Anglophone middle class. Much of middle-class culture is further gendered as "female": women are more apt to be considered recreational readers of fiction, for example, and women's behavior outside the home is often taken as a measure of their community's respectability. The book also highlights the influence of American popular culture, especially African American popular culture, as early as the nineteenth century.
