  • A Mighty Experiment: the Transition from Slavery To
    A MIGHTY EXPERIMENT: THE TRANSITION FROM SLAVERY TO FREEDOM IN JAMAICA, 1834-1838 by ELISABETH GRIFFITH-HUGHES (Under the Direction of Peter C. Hoffer) ABSTRACT When Britain abolished slavery, in 1834, it did not grant immediate freedom to the slaves, but put in place an apprenticeship period of four to six years depending upon occupation designation. This period, along with compensation of 6 million pounds, was awarded to the planters for their property losses. It was meant to be used to "socialize" the former slaves and convert them from enslaved to wage labor. The British government placed the task of overseeing the apprenticeship period in the hands of a force of stipendiary magistrates. The power to punish the work force was taken from the planters and overseers and given to the magistrates who ruled on the complaints brought by planters, overseers, and apprentices, meted out punishments, and forwarded monthly reports to the governors. Jamaica was the largest and most valuable of the British West Indian possessions and consequently the focus of attention. There were four groups all with a vested interest in the outcome of the apprenticeship experiment: the British government, the Jamaican Assembly, the planters, and the apprentices. The thesis of this work is that rather than ameliorating conditions and gaining the cooperation they needed from their workers, the planters responded with coercive acts that drove the labor force from the plantations. The planters’ actions, along with those of a British government loathe to interfere with local legislatures after the experience of losing the North American colonies, bear much of the responsibility for the demise of the plantation economy in Jamaica.

    THE CENTENARY OF OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED IN FEBRUARY, I8I7, AND THE ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT IN GEORGE Ill's REIGN. BY' LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.S.A. HIS month, February, I9I7, sees the celebration of the centenary of an event of much interest to the members of this Society, viz., that of the introduction of the coinage of this realm as we now know it, for it was on February I3th, I8I7, that the exchange of the new money for the old was inaugurated. Not only was a new coinage introduced, but a new standard, a single one of gold. Up to that time silver had been' current as well as gold, which led to a fluctuation of the value of gold in comparison with that of silver. The guinea, the then principal gold coin, was originally issued by Charles II as a twenty-shilling piece, but I think none was ever procurable for twenty silver shillings. The premium varied till I7I7, when it became fixed at one shilling, and since that date the guinea has ever since been reckoned as a twenty-one-shilling piece, that mythical coin so dear to professional people, Secretaries of Clubs, etc. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary for October 29th, I660, gives an example of the variation of the guinea: " Thence by coach (having in the Hall bought me a velvet riding cap, cost me 20S.)" to my taylor's, and there bespoke a plain vest and so to my goldsmith to bid him to look out for some gold for me; and he tells me that ginneys, which I bought 2000 not long ago, and cost me but I81d.
