JAMAICA]. "I.S." A brief and perfect Journal of the late Proceedings and Successe of the English Army in the West-Indies, Continued until June the 24th 1655. Together with Some Queries inserted and Answered . London, 1655. 4 o (184 x 132 mm). (Lacking final blank, small stain on A3-4 affecting two letters.) Modern calf antique. Provenance : John Carter Brown Library (bookplate, duplicate stamp with release date 19 November 1965). FIRST EDITION, with 39 lines on p.6. The unidentified author gives an account of the expedition sent out by Cromwell, under William Penn and Venables, when Jamaica was taken from the Spaniards. They succeeded in taking and holding Jamaica in May 1655, after having been sent to the West Indies with the near-impossible tasks of capturing Hispaniola. In fear of returning with nothing to show of their expedition, they attacked Jamaica. This is the earliest work cited in Howgego's bibliography of Jamaica in his entry under William Penn. The work was reprinted in the Harleian Miscellany (1810), vol. 6. Alden & Landis 655/26; Howgego P44; JCB (3) III:454; Sabin 7854 and 74616; Wing S-35.
