16pp. Disbound, with some loosening. Caption title as issued. Good plus. Whiteley is very quickly disabused of the notion "that, all things considered, the condition of the negro slave was much preferable to that of the factory child. And with these impressions I landed at St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica." The pamphlet is a chronicle of the harsh, inhumane conditions of plantation slavery. "The author was sent to Jamaica by a London West India house with a recommendation to the latter's attorney that he be given employment. While in the Island he witnessed the harsh punishments accorded the slaves and developed a great antipathy for plantation life. He was found out to be a Methodist and hastily left the colony when his life was threatened" [Ragatz 568]. LCP 11161. Sabin 103668.
