12. An Address to Brian [_sic_] Edwards, Esq.; containing remarks on his Pamphlet entitled “Thoughts on the late Proceedings of Government respecting the Trade of the West India Islands with the United States of America.” Also Observations on some parts of a pamphlet, lately published by the West India Planters and Merchants, entitled “Considerations on the present State of the Intercourse between His Majesty’s Sugar Colonies and the Dominions of the United States of America.” By John Stevenson. _London_, 1784. Small 4to. In a copy of No. 12 from the library of Lord Sheffield is a note on the title page in Sheffield’s handwriting: Is this the John Stevenson who is included in the list of persons restored to grace and pardon within the State of New York by an Act of that State passed 12th May, 1784? At Rio Bueno is =Fort Dundas=, dated 1778 and taken over as an Island fort in 1800. At =Mayfield= are the tombs of John Spence (d. 1785) and Anne Blake, the wife of John Hodges (d. 1787); at =Roslyn Castle= tombs of Minto and Virgo; at =Golden Grove= that of Rebecca, wife of Colonel Thomas Reid (d. 1747); at =Orange Valley= tombs of Mrs. Ann Jarrett (d. 1769) and of William Rhodes James (d. 1795); at =Weston Favell=, the tomb of Thomas Harding (d. 1766). In the old slave village on =Hyde Hall= Estate is the rare example of a monument erected to a slave, rare at least in Jamaica, though not so rare in the smaller islands. It is inscribed:— In memory of Eve An honest, obedient and faithful Slave, by her affectionate and grateful master, Henry Shirley 1800. Tradition has it that Eve was the woman in charge of the children of the slaves who went out to work during the day, and that she met her death by being drowned in a pond on Hyde Hall. Arawâk kitchen middens are to be found at =Stewart Castle=, the locality being known as Indian Town to this day, and at _Wales_; while at =Pantrepant= are Arawâk rock-carvings. =Kettering= was named about 1840 by the well-known Baptist missionary William Knibb after his birthplace in Northamptonshire. John Kenyon, the poet and philanthropist (1784–1856), was born in Trelawny, where his father owned extensive sugar plantations. His mother was a daughter of John Simpson of Bounty Hall in the same parish. Both died while he was a boy at Fort Bristol School, Bristol. He it was who first introduced Browning to Elizabeth Barrett, a distant relative and _soi-disant_ cousin. To Kenyon Browning dedicated his “Dramatic Romances and Lyrics”; and Mrs. Browning dedicated to him “Aurora Leigh.” X ST. JAMES
