hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Third Edition. Lady Nugent's Journal: Jamaica One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Years Ago, Maria, Lady Nugent (Edited by Frank Cundall) â" Third Published Edition Publication: London, Published for The Institute of Jamaica by The West India Committee, 1939 Formatting: 8vo, pp. civ, 404. Condition Report: Very Good. The book is bound in the publisher's original dark cloth, which remains structurally tight and sound, though it exhibits minor scuffing and faint handling marks across the boards. The extremities, including the corners and spine ends, show light rubbing and gentle bumping commensurate with its age. The spine gilt, featuring the title, editor, and the emblem of the West India Committee, remains notably bright and unoxidised. The text block edges are heavily foxed, a condition that extends internally to the endpapers and preliminary pages, which are noticeably spotted. The internal hinges remain fully intact, and despite the localised foxing, the main text block is clean and firmly bound, presenting a handsome, sturdy copy. Catalogue Note: This is the third published edition of Lady Nugent's Journal, issued in 1939 shortly after the death of its editor, Frank Cundall. The preface to this edition notes the inclusion of "new matter" and additional notes not found in the earlier 1907 or 1934 commercial printings. The volume is complete with illustrations, including a frontispiece portrait of Lady Nugent, alongside folding maps. Originally printed for private circulation in 1839 as a two-volume work, commercial editions of this journal have remained vital primary texts for Caribbean historiography. While this third edition is more accessible than the private first printing, it remains an uncommon find on the open market, particularly in its original cloth binding without major structural flaws. It is an excellent fit for any curated selection of regional history. Lady Nugentâs Journal offers an intimate, unparalleled glimpse into colonial Jamaica during the early nineteenth century. Written by Maria, Lady Nugent, the wife of the Governor of Jamaica, the journal chronicles her residence on the island from 1801 to 1815. With an observant and often critical eye, she details the daily lives, social customs, and political manoeuvrings of the era, providing a vital historical record of the Caribbean during the Napoleonic Wars. Edited and expanded by the esteemed historian Frank Cundall, this edition stands as an essential primary source for any collection of colonial or West Indian history. N/A (illustratore). …
