About This Item
London: Arthur Miall, 25, Bouverie Street, E.C., 1866. 92pp + folding table. Disbound, light tanning, blank edges of final leaf chipped. Good+ or so.
Cardwell was Secretary of the Colonies; Reverend Underhill says he published this Letter "in self-defence," because Jamaica's Governor Eyre blamed Underhill's Letter for "exciting to sedition" and causing rebellion in Jamaica. His Letter asserts, "multitudes are suffering from want little removed from starvation"; crime, "extreme poverty," "denial of political rights to the emancipated negroes", and other pathologies thrive.
In addition to Underhill's commentary and Letter, this pamphlet includes a Letter of the Ministers of the Jamaica Baptist Union to Governor Eyre, and other material confirming the Island's social, economic, and political distress.
LCP 10536. Not in Ragatz.
