Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of government documents outlining the British government's efforts to end slavery in Jamaica. These documents provide insight into the challenges and successes of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in the 1830s. The collection begins with a circular issued by Lord Glenelg, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, in May 1837. This circular instructs the governors of British colonies to take various steps to protect freed slaves from being sold back into slavery in foreign colonies. Later circulars touch on issues such as prison conditions, the upcoming end of apprenticeship for non-predial laborers, and the treatment of apprentices by overseers. Overall, the volume serves as a primary source on the British Empire's efforts to implement the abolition of slavery. Its insights into the challenges and successes of the British government's abolitionist policies make this book essential reading for scholars and students of Caribbean and imperial history.
