1975 (Jerome S. Handler) “Memoirs of an Old Army Officer: Richard A. Wyvill’s Visits to Barbados in 1796 and 1806-7.” JBMHS 35: 21-30.

Wyvill was a British Army Officer in the West India Regiments. His diary entries on Barbados are a series of brief thoughts and random observations on a variety of topics although the treatment of slaves and behavior of creole whites seem to have interested him the most.
