Immigration scheme targets Jamaica colonies via London agents
A 1840 proposal outlines a West India Immigration Society to facilitate emigration to the Caribbean. It envisions free passage, lodging, rations, and support for arrivals, with agents in London and Jamaica to arrange embarkation and employment. The plan seeks government or colonial grants, offers shares at 20 each, and invites subscriptions through listed solicitors and banks.
