Jamaica in 1687: The Taylor Manuscript at the National Library of Jamaica
David Buisseret
This remarkable description of Jamaica in the 1680s was written by a contemporary English observer, John Taylor, who spent some months on the island. He offers an image of the island before the general spread of sugar cultivation, citing some creatures now extinct n Jamaica; he also makes many suggestions about the medical use of natural products.
