This essay uses the Thistlewood family papers as a health record for the enslaved population in Jamaica.

The Impact of War: (I) The Boer War
THE bill presented when the South African account was due for settlement was not financial only. £250 million were more easily found in the Great Britain of that day than a thoroughly easy conscience. It was now that the promises of imperialism could be measured against what imperialism had performed.
The Change in the Wind
When on 28 October 1951 Winston Churchill as incoming prime minister summoned Oliver Lyttelton to his bedroom at eleven in the morning, to offer him the cabinet post of minister of materials and rearmament, Lyttelton did not know what Churchill was talking about or what the job meant. Neither did Churchill, whose ideas and papers were askew at so early an hour. Old friends, they hummed and hawed blankly at one another. Lyttelton, once a soldier, …

Spanish Slave-Ships in the English West Indies, 1660-85
FROM THE BEGINNING of the Restoration period, the English Crown was determined to maintain its control over foreign trade, as over all foreign affairs; and it did this by the grant or continuance of exclusive charters and monopolies, such as were issued to the Levant, East India, and Royal Fishery Companies in 1661, to the Royal Company of Adventurers trading into Africa in 1663, to the Canary Island Company in 1665, to the Hudson Bay Company and…

The three men whose biographies are under review* were born within six years of one another: Rosebery (1847) and Balfour (1848) into the rich Scottish aristocracy, Rhodes (1853) into a comfortable Anglican parsonage. These children of the mid-century had much in common, much in contrast. All were individualists. They had their own ideas, and never seem to have seriously examined anyone else's. They left no school of thought or action behind them:…
