Memoirs of a West-India Planter is a book published in 1827, written by John Riland. The book is based on an original manuscript and provides a detailed account of Riland’s experiences as a planter in the West Indies. The memoirs cover a period of over 20 years, from Riland’s arrival in Jamaica in the late 1700s to the early 1800s. The book provides a vivid portrayal of life on a West Indian plantation during this time, including the harsh realities of slavery, the challenges of managing a plantation, and the social and political climate of the region. Riland also shares his personal observations and experiences, including his interactions with other planters, slaves, and local officials. The book is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the economic, social, and political conditions of the West Indies during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is also a fascinating personal account of one man’s experiences in this unique and complex environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
