Trinity Estate, St Mary, Jamaica
Trinity Estate, St Mary, Jamaica
by James Hakewill, 1820

'Book-keepers' on the sugar estates in the West Indies in the 18th and 19th centuries did not deal with the estates' financial records, they supervised and kept the tally of the work done on the planation. So they are not the ancestors of the modern accountant.
