181640803London: Printed for J. M. Richardson Cornhill Opposite the Royal Exchange 1816. 3-28pp. Light scattered foxing. Bound in modern cloth withdrawal stamp on front pastedown; inoffensive faint blindstamp on blank corner of title leaf. Else Very Good.<br /> <br /> Our collation matches that of the bibliographers. The nameless author disclaims any "intention to advocate the revival or regret the abolition of the Slave Trade. . . It is a traffic so objectionable in almost every respect that being abolished for the most part I hope never to see it revived and that every endeavour will be made to realize those advantages which the zeal of the authors of the Abolition has induced them to expect." <br /> However "The passage of the registration bill would constitute an unwarranted interference of the central power in the planters' private affairs" Ragatz. The property right of the West Indian colonists in their slaves is non-negotiable. Slaves comprise "the most valuable property of our colonists." Parliament's interference with "the private rights and private property of our colonists. . . would absolutely and tyrannically deprive the individuals whose property it is proposed to regulate and affect of those constitutional means of redress which all British subjects are entitled to." The pamphlet prints resolutions of West Indian Planters objecting to any such intrusions on their rights.<br /> The anonymous author objects to the African Institution's "representations of the miseries and hardships of slaves and in circulating ignorantly and unguardedly no doubt the most unfounded calumnies on the subject. If these gentlemen were to compare the situation of the Irish peasantry with that of our colonial slaves they would find they were comparing the extreme of wretchedness with comparative comfort."<br /> Ragatz 442.

Correspondence" referred to diplomatic letters between the Foreign Office and nations that had not signed treaties with Great Britain regarding the slave trade. Every year from 1830 to 1859 this correspondence was presented to both Houses of Parliament and published: this is the annual compendium covering the year 1843. And though the importation of slaves was illegal in the United States at that time there is a considerable amount of American-British interaction. Great Britain had abolished slavery in toto throughout its colonies in 1834 after the passage of the Abolition Act of 1833. It had been home to a powerful abolition movement that held influence in government for some time prior. Great Britain's economy had grew less dependent on slavery than its rivals like the US were and slave revolts on its far-flung colonies had been costly to put down. Those reasons coupled with domestic religious and social sentiment had led the British Empire to take action. Insistent British diplomatic correspondence is included here with other key major powers who had not yet signed on to trying to halt the slave trade. The present work covers contacts with Central America Equator New Granada Peru various consulates in the United States the Barbary States Egypt Turkey Crete Albania and Muscat. Much detail is provided about individual ships involved in the trade. William Clowes and Sons, 14, Charing Cross, For Her Majesty's Stationery Office unknown

18124628<p>TRADE CATALOGUE - STEEL GOODS. Book of Steel Toys. Birmingham n.p. c.1812. </p><p>A remarkable trade catalogue of steel goods for the household ladies and gentlemen's personal effects gardening tools and instruments for trades and professions. This is a treasure trove of visual information about a vast range of now obsolete tools and the objects required for daily life in the age of Jane Austen: spinet tuning keys muffin toasters cheese tasters sugar hatchets teeth cleaning sets netting vices boot hooks and so on. Particularly fascinating is the distinction between tradesmen's tools and those specifically marketed for amateurs. These are described in the individual engravings as well as in the engraved and letterpress leaf after the index leaf where the contents of 9 oak chests of tools for gentlemen are itemised as well as chests of garden tools turners tools and mahogany chests of tools for cleaning gentlemen's guns. Among the articles listed in the index are 'Lady's hammers' and 'Lady's sets of garden tools' but these do not seem to be the articles engraved on the corresponding plates. </p><p>Engraved trade catalogues of this sort were used by salesmen to solicit orders from retailers. The prices entered in manuscript are selling prices on which the retailer received a discount probably 25% see below. Stamped brass and silverware catalogues turn up from time to time but catalogues of steel goods are much rarer. Unusually too this catalogue is provided with a letterpress index. Normally the engraved leaves would be gathered up in different combinations for individual salesmen hence the plates are numbered in manuscript. In this example they do not exactly follow the printed index so the 'missing' engravings 49 and 50 may never have been present but the presence of stubs suggests that pls. 35–40 which from the index showed corkscrews were once present and have been removed from the volume.</p><p>There is a similar volume in the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County also with a printed index and 51 leaves of plates. There is a printer's imprint W. Tolley and Son on the first plate. This may be the William Tolley engraver and copperplate printer active in Birmingham from before 1790 to 1830. The name of the agent is on a label on the upper cover: 'Muntz & Purden Book no. 29 discount 25%' indicating that the MS prices are retail prices.</p><p><i>Oblong folio 235 x 375mm; letterpress 'Index to book of steel toys' folding letterpress and engraved leaf 'Gentlemen's Tool Chests' and 46 leaves of plates many printed recto and verso from 80 engraved plates. There is a gap in the pagination and stubs between 34 and 41 and these leaves have presumably been removed; pls 49 and 50 are also missing but there are no stubs so may never have been present.</i></p><p><i>Manuscript additions. The index leaf is annotated 'Livre 64456 W&L' this has been varnished over; every item is neatly priced and in some cases additional products are described for example the ice skates 48 shillings plain or 60 shillings hollow ground could be had with leather straps and buckles for another 18 shillings per dozen pl. 70; small marginal tears in first two and last leaf strengthened with tissue on verso; recent half morocco and marbled boards; from the Forschungsinstitut für Geschichte der Zahnheilkunde with stamp on index leaf and several plates. </i></p> n.p. hardcover
