Pim, Bedford The Negro and Jamaica. Read before the Anthropological Society of London, February 1, 1866, at St. James's Hall, London. London, Trubner and Co., 1866. octavo, 72 page pamphlet, original printed wrappers, wraps are chipped and worn, old tape repairs to spine and rear wrapper, else a good clean copy. Despite the hints at an anthropological discourse, this work is a political statement critical of British policy in the West Indies. Pim writes in defense of the governor of Jamaica in his efforts to deal with a Negro rebellion on that island, which Pim believed could result in the flight of white settlers, thus endangering the empire. Pim also was of the opinion that efforts to elevate the Negro were not practical, since he believed that the Negro was inherently incapable of equality with whites.
