Observations On The System By Which Estates Have Been And Are Still Managed In Jamaica is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies himself only as A Proprietor. The book was first published in 1836 and provides a detailed analysis of the management of estates in Jamaica during the early 19th century.The author of the book was a plantation owner in Jamaica and wrote the book as a critique of the management practices that were prevalent in the island at the time. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of estate management, such as the cultivation of sugar cane, the use of slave labor, and the financial management of estates.The author argues that the system of estate management in Jamaica was deeply flawed and that it was responsible for the economic decline of the island. He argues that the use of slave labor was inefficient and that it was responsible for the high costs of production. He also argues that the financial management of estates was poorly executed and that many plantation owners were in debt as a result.The book is notable for its frank and honest assessment of the plantation system in Jamaica at the time. It provides a valuable insight into the workings of the plantation system and the challenges faced by plantation owners during this period. The book is also significant as a historical document, providing an important perspective on the history of slavery and plantation life in Jamaica.And On The Apprenticeship Introduced By The Recent Abolition Act.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
