About This Book
"[Edward Long] went to Jamaica in 1757 where he became private secretary to his brother-in-law Sir Henry Moore (lieutenant-governor of Jamaica 1756-1762), judge of the Vice-Admiralty court and speaker of the House of Assembly. He is best known for his History of Jamaica, or a general survey of the ancient and modern state of that island... which was published anonymously in 1774. Long's manuscripts contain correspondence, maps, genealogical and other historical material relating to the history of Jamaica and include several watercolours of his property, the Lucky Valley Plantation"--British Library website.
