General Note:
"The profits arising from the sale of these Hymns will be devoted to the Fund for rebuilding the thirteen Chapels in Jamaica, which were destroyed in the year 1832. Towards this object his Majesty’s Government have made a grant of £5510; but as this is far less than the sum required, which is computed at £17,900, further application has been made, and it has been intimated that half the remaining sum will be given, provided the other moiety [sic, money] be raised by private subscription. A considerable sum has been already received, and it is hoped that, at farthest, by the First of August, the whole will have been contributed."
General Note:
This period in Jamaica's history (e.g., the destruction of the thirteen chapels in 1832) is known as the Baptist War or alternately the Sam Sharpe Rebellion or the Great Jamaican Slave Revolt, also the Christmas Rebellion or Christmas Uprising of 1831 to 1832. The Rebellion was led by Samuel Sharpe, a black Baptist deacon in Montego Bay, Jamaica
