A Rare Eighteenth-Century Tract in Defense of Slavery in Barbados: The Thoughts of the Rev. John Duke, Curate of St. Michael

2005  A Rare Eighteenth-Century Tract in Defense of Slavery in Barbados: The Thoughts of the Rev. John Duke, Curate of St. MichaelJl. of the Barbados Mus. and Hist. Soc. 51:58-65.

In this article I summarize the contents and argument of this rare pamphlet (I know of only one existing copy) as a contribution to the historiography of slavery in the West Indies and to make known a resource that has hitherto escaped notice by scholars and bibliographers of early West Indian history and slavery.
