About this title

Synopsis

An Authentic Narrative Of The Life Of Joseph Wall. Governor Of Goree. To Which Is Annexed A Faithful Account Of His Execution. Interspersed With Anecdotes And Remarks By A Military Gentleman" by Joseph Wall is a late-18th-century biographical pamphlet that chronicles the life and controversial governorship of Joseph Wall, Governor of Goree, and provides a faithful account of his execution, interwoven with anecdotes and observations by a military narrator. The work begins with Wall’s family background in Ireland, noting his ancestry from an old Irish line, his education at Trinity College Dublin, and his early military career, including foreign service and a stint with the East India Company. It narrates his ascent to the governorship of Goree, a fortress island in West Africa, and recounts alleged acts of severity and coercion exercised there, including the flogging of a serjeant that led to death. The pamphlet traces his life, trials in England, and eventual execution at Newgate, offering moral reflections on British justice and the dangers of unchecked power in colonial administration. It also includes extended sections on Goree’s geography, trade, and local customs to place the governor’s tenure in context.
