General Results of Negro Apprenticeship is a book that provides insights into the experiences of slaves in the British colonies during the period of apprenticeship. The book is based on extracts from the public speeches and dispatches of the governors of various colonies, as well as those of Lord Glenelg, who was the Secretary of State for the Colonies at the time. The book was written in 1838, during the early years of the apprenticeship system, which was introduced in the British colonies in 1834 as a transitional period between slavery and freedom. The book provides a detailed account of the conditions of the apprenticeship system, including the treatment of the apprentices, their living conditions, and the impact of the system on the economy of the colonies. It also discusses the challenges faced by the colonial authorities in implementing the system and the resistance of the slave population to the apprenticeship regime. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of slaves in the British colonies during a critical period in their history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
