This study of the slave plantation of Trinidad is based on the
Trinidadian slave registration of 1813, 1815, and 1816, when the
Registrar of Slaves recorded information on 17,087 plantation
slaves. The principal goal of the study is to draw plausible upper
and lower bounds on the levels of plantation slave mortality and
fertility in Trinidad in the early nineteenth century. The book
examines in detail the collection of the slave registration data in
1813 and the ensuing controversy over slave smuggling. Further
chapters describe Trinidad's population in 1813, including what
little is known about the free population, the methods used in
studying the mortality and fertility of the plantation slaves, the
findings about plantation slave mortality and a discussion of these
findings. The final chapter discusses the conclusions in a wider
historical context.
