Excerpt from The History of the Jamaica Case: Being an Account, Founded Upon Official Documents, of the Rebellion of the Negroes in Jamaica, the Causes Which Led to It, and the Measures Taken for Its Suppression The Jamaica ease, for nearly three years, engaged public attention, and, as Mr. Cardwell Observes, caused an excite ment unprecedented in our times. It raised a controversy in which some of the most distinguished men in the' country took Opposite Sides; it caused debates in Par liament, and prosecutions in the courts, which have only recently concluded. It was fit that such a case Should be the subject of history, and it is indeed precisely such cases which, after the excitement is over, are the most fitting subjects of calm historical review. In these pages it has been attempted to supply at once a permanent record and an impartial review of the Whole case, and to afford the materials for a fair and dispassionate judgment. The Author has taken the statement of the facts, as found by the Commissioners, as the basis Of the history, and has only ventured to discuss the inferences to be drawn therefrom, or the conclusions to be founded thereon. But he has felt himself at liberty to interpret their general findings by their more particular findings, and thus to arrive at their real results. If in SO doing he shall have presumed to suggest some considerations which may not have occurred to them, or to the other high authorities who may have had to pronounce upon the case, he ventures to think that, after the lapse of time and the advantage of repeated discussions, this may not involve any presumption in him, nor any re ection upon them.
