Book Overview

""A Reply To The Letter By The Marquis Of Sligo To The Marquis Of Normandy: Relative To The Present State Of Jamaica"" is a book written by William Burge and published in 1839. The book is a response to a letter written by the Marquis of Sligo to the Marquis of Normandy, which discussed the current state of Jamaica. Burge, a plantation owner and member of the Jamaican Assembly, disagreed with the Marquis of Sligo's assessment of the island and its people. In his book, Burge argues that the Marquis of Sligo's portrayal of Jamaica is inaccurate and unfair. He defends the actions of the British government and the planters in Jamaica, and criticizes the Marquis of Sligo for his sympathy towards the enslaved population. The book is a reflection of the attitudes and beliefs of the white ruling class in Jamaica during the 19th century, and provides insight into the complex social and political dynamics of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
