A Record of the Jews in Jamaica from the English Conquest to the Present Time by Andrade, Jacob A.P.M.; Parks, Basil (Editor) - 1941

Kingston, Jamaica: The Jamaica Times Ltd.. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. "Mr. Andrade has painstakingly collected infomation and carried out research over a period of seventeen years. He has interviewed scores of people, written hundreds of letters, and has searched 163 Will Books and 1,400 Deed Books of the Island Record Office in Spanish Town. He has also spent much time studying the Books and MSS at the Institute of Jamaica. Only a man who loves antiquity could have exhibited the patience, the skill, and the resource that were necessary to bring his labour to a successful issue. This work is valuable as an historical contribution to the literature of Jamaica, and will be consulted in the future by students, and writers on this subject." - Foreword. [16], 282 p.
