[4],xxv,[1],462pp., including passages of printed music, plus fourteen pages of publisher's advertisements. [bound with:] THE CONSOLIDATED SLAVE LAW, PASSED THE 22d December, 1826, COMMENCING ON THE 1st MAY, 1827. [Kingston]: Published for Augustus H. Beaumont by the Courant Office, 1827. xii,47,[2],3,[16]pp. Later half white cloth and brown paper boards, leather label. Boards and label rubbed, front hinge cracked but strong. Scattered foxing and tanning. Very good. The second edition of this detailed discussion of slavery in Jamaica, improved over the first by the addition of a Jamaican imprint, the 1827 CONSOLIDATED SLAVE LAW and EXTRACTS FROM THE CODE RURAL OF HAYTI. Barclay lived in Jamaica for many years, and this work is based largely on personal observations and experience. He states that his purpose is not to defend slavery, but to correct misrepresentations and errors concerning the current conditions and treatment of slaves in Jamaica, particularly as portrayed in James Stephens' SLAVERY OF THE BRITISH WEST INDIA COLONIES. It is in fact a spirited defense of the system as employed in the colony (and more particularly of the colonists who enact it), which Barclay argues has been unfairly represented by the hyperbolic tracts of abolitionists across the Atlantic. He does this by providing anecdotes and other evidence on a wide array of topics brought up by Stephens, including the status of corporal punishment, private property, the slave trade, legal protections, religious and secular education, "the fatal consequences of premature emancipation," and more. Barclay argues that emancipation must at some point occur, but should be applied gradually and not until enslaved people have made more "progress towards refinement." Barclay further points to the drop in economic productivity seen in Haiti since Toussaint Louverture's revolution abolished slavery. For this second edition of Barclay's work, the publishers have added a separately published pamphlet (printed by Augustus Beaumont in Kingston), which includes the CONSOLIDATED SLAVE LAW of 1827 and EXTRACTS FROM THE CODE RURAL OF HAYTI. The slave law was passed by Jamaica in an attempt to improve relations after Bussa's rebellion in Barbados, and among more than a hundred other provisions grants slaves the right to own property, the right to give evidence in court, and reduces manumission fees, while also appeasing white planters by instituting capital punishment for any slave who threatens the life of a white person and establishing paperwork requirements for all free blacks to prove their status. This is the first edition of Augustus Beaumont's printing of the law - other copies of Barclay's second edition are sometimes found with the second edition of Beaumont's pamphlet. Beaumont was a belligerent and radical figure, and was proprietor of Kingston's JAMAICA COURANT AND PUBLIC ADVERTISER from 1826 to 1831. While Beaumont himself was a fervent abolitionist, his pamphlet was most likely included by Barclay as evidence that slaves in the British West Indies were granted concessions they did not receive in other parts of the empire - even though the law was nonetheless disallowed "as it did not sufficiently meet the home Government's recommendations relative to ameliorating the condition of the slaves" (Ragatz). The remainder of the pamphlet concerns Haiti's "Code Rural," which grew out of the agreement that won Haiti independence from France. The peace arrangements incurred a debt of 150,000,000 francs for the newborn Haiti, and President Jean-Pierre Boyer instituted the Code Rural in an attempt to increase production. The 202 articles of the Code cover every aspect of the now nominally free rural laborers' lives by instituting compulsory labor policies and universal practices of discipline and surveillance. Here, Beaumont has translated articles 173 through 202, which concern the Police Rural (who had the power to arrest and force any unemployed person into agricultural l.
