Subject: Jews -- Jamaica

This map is one of three county maps of Jamaica, surveyed between 1756 and 1761 by Thomas Craskell and James Simpson under the direction of Henry Moore, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. When combined with the other two maps, it forms a 90 x 38 inch map of the entire island. Dedicated to the Earl of Halifax, this section depicts Middlesex County and is notable for listing plantations owned by Jewish individuals. This is among the earliest detailed surveys of Jamaica, predating the Robertson map of 1804. The survey was commissioned to create a more comprehensive record of the island's geography than existed previously.

Pamphlet containing six laws passed by the Jamaican legislature from 1826 to 1830. These laws expanded the rights of Jews, Catholics, Indians, and Black Jamaicans. Two laws specifically address the Jewish community: one granting them the rights and privileges of other British subjects (1827), and another repealing a law restricting voting and office holding in Kingston to Christians (1830). Published in London in 1831 in response to an address to the House of Commons requesting copies of colonial laws relating to religious and racial tolerance.
