The husband of Maria, Lady Nugent (1771 1834) was Governor of
Jamaica from 1801 to 1806. Her diaries were not written for
publication, and therefore offer a valuable and frank record of
people and situations she met with in Jamaica. They were published
privately after her death, and are here reproduced from the 1907
edition. The Jamaica diary covers a period of uncertainty in the
West Indies due to the Napoleonic Wars. While generally avoiding
politics, she comments on colonial society and planter life. Her
initial view of slaves altered as rumours of uprisings made her
fear for her young children. She also expresses concern about the
sexual exploitation of slaves by planters, as being bad for both
parties. The latter part of the work covers in less detail her
return to England, and the period she spent in India where her
husband had been appointed commander-in-chief.
