1828215881828. Slavery & Abolition This archive contains two British parliamentary acts addressing the suppression of the transatlantic slave trade. Both published in London by George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode. The first document "An Act to Continue an Act for Amending and Consolidating the Laws Relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade" 25th July 1828 was issued under the reign of King George IV. It reinforces prior legislative measures aimed at abolishing the slave trade within the British Empire and its territories ensuring penalties for violations and the removal of enslaved individuals from illegally operating vessels. The second document "An Act to Revive and Continue Until Six Months After the Commencement of the Next Session of Parliament and to Amend an Act for Authorizing Her Majesty to Carry into Immediate Execution by Orders in Council Any Treaties Made for the Suppression of the Slave Trade" 14th August 1838 was enacted under Queen Victoria. This act sought to extend and strengthen Britain's ability to enforce anti-slavery treaties with foreign nations allowing for immediate action against those engaging in the slave trade. Both pieces are significant records of Britain's legal efforts to combat slavery in the early 19th century and underscore the ongoing legislative process that led to the full abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1833. The documents feature the royal coat of arms period typography and official parliamentary language making them valuable historical artifacts in the study of British abolitionism.

1817AQ27624London: s.n. 1817. 10pp 2. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Sewn as issued. Three old horizontal folds. A clean and crisp copy. 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. .
