 them in one's own mind it is impossible to
understand the state of the country; and without alluding to them in
speech it is impossible to explain the state of the country. The fact
is, that in Jamaica, at the present day, the <DW52> people do stand
on strong ground, and that they do not so stand with the goodwill
of the old aristocracy of the country. They have forced their way
up, and now loudly protest that they intend to keep it. I think that
they will keep it, and that on the whole it will be well for us
Anglo-Saxons to have created a race capable of living and working in
the climate without inconvenience.

It is singular, however, how little all this is understood in
England. There it is conceived that white men and <DW52> men, white
ladies and <DW52> ladies, meet together and amalgamate without
any difference. The Duchess of This and Lord That are very happy
to have at their tables some intelligent dark gentleman, or even a
well-dressed <DW64>, though he may not perhaps be very intelligent.
There is some little excitement in it, some change from the common;
and perhaps also an easy opportunity of practising on a small scale
those philanthropic views which they preach with so much eloquence.
When one hobnobs over a glass of champagne with a dark gentleman, he
is in some sort a man and a brother. But the duchess and the lord
think that because the dark gentleman is to their taste, he must
necessarily be as much to the taste of the neighbours among whom he
has been born and bred; of those who have been accustomed to see him
from his childhood.

There never was a greater mistake. A <DW52> man may be a fine
prophet in London; but he will be no prophet in Jamaica, which is his
own country; no prophet at any rate among his white neighbours.

I knew a case in which a very intelligent--nay, I believe, a
highly-educated young <DW52> gentleman, was sent out by certain
excellent philanthropic big-wigs to fill an official situation in
Jamaica. He was a stranger to Jamaica, never having been there
before. Now, when he was so sent out, the home big-wigs alluded

them in one's own mind it is impossible to 
 understand the state of the country; and without allude to them in 
 lecture it is impossible to explain the state of the area. The fact 
 is, that in Jamaica, at the present sidereal day, the < DW52 > people do stand 
 on strong background, and that they do not so stand with the good will 
 of the old aristocracy of the area. They have forced their way 
 up, and nowadays loudly protest that they intend to keep it. I think that 
 they will keep it, and that on the whole it will be good for us 
 Anglo - Saxons to have created a race capable of live and working in

 There is some little excitement in it, some variety from the coarse; 
 and perhaps besides an comfortable opportunity of practising on a small scale 
 those philanthropic view which they preach with so much eloquence.
