The first collection contains Acts II - XVIII of 18 acts and the second contains Acts II - XXIII of 23 acts. The acts cover a range of topics including duties tariffs and taxes; the paying and management of military personnel and militias; and the management of churches. The most significant of the acts however is Act 15 of the second set of acts entitled "An Act for Providing a Publick Reward for such Person or Persons as shall Discover the Longitude at Sea". This formally established the Commissioners of the Longitude and the reward of £20000 for "the first Author or Authors Discoverer or Discoverers of any such method ." that to the satisfaction of the committee accurately determined a ship's longitude at sea accurate to within 20 geographical miles. This reward would not be claimed until 1765 when clockmaker John Harrison developed his "time-keeper" or marine chronometer. 1394685. Special Collections. Printed by John Baskett hardcover

1812AQ27618London: s.n. 1812. 19pp 1. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Bound with: Drop-head title: Further paper relating to the slave trade. Viz. Observation by William Dawes Esquire one of the Commissioners ;- in addition to the Report made by the Commission of African Enquiry. - 1811. London s.n. 1812. 21-22pp 1. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Folio. Disbound. Stab-stitch holes to gutters. Later resewn. Early manuscript page numbers to upper margins. A rare survival of a report on the condition of British territories on the Gold Coast of Africa in particular efforts to tarry the Spanish and Portuguese slave trade. Of interest are the expense tables showing the cost of maintaining British forts in the region; Cape Coast Castle for example has an average annual charge of £3277 with 'Black Men's Pay' making up £179 and 'Castle Slaves' costing £990. The report is here paired with the second located copy of an addendum by sometime governor of Sierra Leone William Dawes 1762-1836 that whilst broadly agreeing with the findings nevertheless suggests an increase in naval power off the African Coast. Soon after this paper was printed Dawes at the suggestion of William Wilberforce travelled to Antigua to work for the anti-slavery cause there.

A selection of seven papers printed by order of the House of Commons regarding the Africa slave trade. The initial four letters contain reports of Royal Navy officer Sir James Lucas Yeo 1782- 1818 then commander-in-chief on the west coast of Africa with special responsibility for the anti-slavery patrol. He commences with the disheartening revelation that 'efforts toward obtaining the real abolition of slavery have been of little or no avail; for though fewer negroes may have been enslaved since the Abolition Acts took place with respect to this country yet the cruelty to those now taken away by Spaniards and Portuguese has increased quadruple; and those Acts appear to have had no other effect then that of transferring the Slave Trade to Spain and Portugal whose inhuman traffic has since wonderfully increased'. Yeo proceeds to provide accounts of numerous vessels recently seized both by himself and Captain Fisher who authors the final three letters reproduced here including the capture Portuguese brig San Antonio carrying 600 enslaved Africans and the American schooner Rosa sailing under Spanish colours trafficking 276. .

From the recently dispersed library of William St Clair with his distinctive pencilled ownership inscription to head of title. A series of dispatches relating to the violent torture of Cape Coast native Robert Erskine. In 1847 whilst a domestic in the service of Captain Augustus William Murray of the 1st West-India Regiment and stationed at the infamous Cape Coast Castle Erskine was accused of having stolen sundry articles of jewellery from the officer. Despite his protestations of innocence and a lack of any evidence connecting him with the crime Erskine was brutally tortured for eight days. In consequence of his torment he lost the use of his hands. It was later ascertained that the actual culprit was a soldier of the 1st West India Regiment and likely one of the individuals who engaged in Erskine's maltreatment. A year after the event the Aborigines Protection Society took up Erskine's case and successfully prosecuted it in 1851.

1817AQ27622London: s.n. 1817. 63pp 1. Disbound. Later resewn. Terminal leaf creased. The report of a parliamentary committee appointed to evaluate the condition of the state of trade and establishments of the African Company issued four years prior its ultimate dissolution by the British Government in 1821. With the exception of the major forts such as Cape Coast Castle many British forts were not particularly well defended nor maintained and as such their efficacy as a deterrent to slave traders greatly diminished. Parliament frustrated by this reduced effectiveness pursued a policy of reducing the number of African Company settlements through the abandonment of any upon strict inquiry not found to be of service in a sufficient degree to warrant their expenditure.
