Historical notes:
Includes translations from English, Portuguese, Latin, etc., in 8 sections. The order of the sections varies among copies, as do the order and number of leaves of plates. Compiled and edited by Henri Justel.This section is Description de L'Isle de la Jamaique by Sir Thomas Modyford. Modyford, who became governor of Jamaica in 1664 when he arrived with 1000 settlers from Barbados, is supposed to have divided the island into seven parishes (fewer than are shown here). He is also credited with bringing the cultivation of sugar to Jamaica and with having supported the activities of privateers and bucaneers as a defense against the Spanish.
