005597Paris: Jacques Lafitte. Stiff Wraps. Very Good. Scarce with no recorded copies on OCLC and not in BNF catalogue. N.d. 1930s and possibly Oblong 4to. 21 by 27 cm. 24 pp. A farcical story of an eccentric professor who chases after a sailor around the globe because a stamp from his collection was stolen. Along the way the professor has all kinds of contretemps with the natives -- Congolese Tahitians Martiniquians etc. Written and illustrated with a brio that is unbounded by bigotry or political rectitude as we now know it and a prism on rascist attitudes of an earlier era. Loosely in the spirit of Tintin stories or even Babar a little and contemporaneous with the early editions of both of those. The dating is tricky. There is the number 1943 indicated in small print on the final leaf but we don't think it is plausible that this was printed that late when Paris was under occupation. More plausible is an issuance in conjunction with the Coloniale Exposition which occurred in 1931 but there is no concrete evidence of this either. From the physical traits and the general style of the production though we are reasonably confident that it hailed from the thirties. Light wear. Jacques Lafitte unknown

At foot in manuscript not Stanley’s handwriting: ‘/sd/ Stanley’. A version of the circular on pp.1-2 of Item Two exhibiting some variation from it for example giving details of two items of ‘correspondence’ in margin of p.1. Stanley explains that in accordance with the views of ‘two Committees of the House of Commons which sat last Session to enquire - the one into the state of the West India Colonies the other into that of the British Possessions on the West Coast of Africa’ the Government ‘have undertaken the superintendence of Emigration from that coast to the British West Indies’ and have chartered vessels which ‘during the next twelve months will effect as many voyages as may be possible within that period from Sierra Leone or other ports on the Coast of Africa to Jamaica Guiana and Trinidad’.

The first p.3 is a table giving a uncompleted example of a ‘Return of the Number of Emigrants who have been brought from the Coast of Africa to blank in Ships chartered or licensed by Her Majesty’s Government during the Quarter ended on the blank 184blank.’ The second pp.4-5 is under five heads including ‘Provision for Bounty Emigration to be conducted by private Individuals’.

24267Dated from Downing Street 15 June 1849. An interesting indication of the Victorian approach to transparency in government.

Begins: ‘Having received from some of the Governors of His Majesty’s Colonies statements of the injury to the Public Service which has occasionally resulted from the communication to Parliament and the consequent publication of despatches and other documents received at this Office from the Governors I think it expedient to call your attention to the fact that the increasing direction of public attention towards the affairs of the Colonies has lately led to very frequent and pressing applications from Members of Parliament for the communication to Parliament of the whole or portions of correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Governors and it has often been found difficult for the Secretary of State to judge at a distance whether injury would or would not arise to the public interests of a Colony from the communication of the papers applied for’. Dated from Downing Street, 15 June 1849. unknown

I have addressed to the Governor of Mauritius a Dispatch in which I have suggested the adoption of a system in respect to Coolie Immigrants which appears to me to be calculated to meet these evils and to be applicable also to the case of Coolie or any other Immigrants introduced into the West Indian Colonies otherwise than at their own Cost.
