A handsome copy of Trollope's first travel book. It treats the issue of colonialism sensitively and points to the United States as a model for what colonies, once independent, can achieve. He hopes that there will not be an English governor sent to Jamaica to 'support the dignity of Queen Victoria's great grandchild's grandchild': that man is King Charles III, and the governor-general of Jamaica has been Jamaican born since 1962.
