He tried to cover the world. Robin -----Original Message----- From: Frederick H. Smith [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, 29 April 2001 12:16 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Temperance in 19thc Antigua I came across a reference to a temperance society in St. John's parish and on the estates of Wesleyan missionaries in Antigua in 1837 (Joseph Sturge and Thomas Harvey, The West Indies in 1837 being a journal of a visit to Antigua...London 1838, Appendix A:vi). I wish to learn more about temperance societies and reformers in the British Caribbean, especially Jamaica and Barbados. Who were the reformers and where can I find information about temperance societies in the 19thc British Caribbean? Thank you, Fred Smith Frederick H.
