This estate is among the four estates (Mount Vernon in the US; Newton and Seawells in Barbados; and Prospect in Portland Jamaica,) whose labour organisation and working methods are analysed in Justin Roberts, Slavery and the Enlightenment in the British Atlantic, 1750-1807 (Cambridge: CUP, 2013). That analysis draws on the plantation journals for the estate 1784-1793, Records of the Jamaican Prospect Estate [microform] (Wakefield: Microform Academic Publishers, 2003): there is also An Introduction to the Plantation Journals of the Prospect Sugar Estate by Simon D. Smith, https://microform.digital/map/guides/R97615.pdf [accessed 22/03/2017]. |
