[CORRESPONDENCE - SLAVERY AND SLAVE TRADE].Biblio.com

Correspondence . relating to the slave trade. In some volumes: relative to the slave trade on the slave trade or respecting the slave trade.

1837ABC_47982London 1837. Folio 32 x 20.5 cm. William Clowes 1837-1845; T. R. Harrison 1848-1872. Later stiff blue paper wrappers with white title-label on the front cover blue sprinkled edges. Ad. 11 in beige paper wrappers. With several tables of data. 14 volumes. Rare collection of 14 volumes containing transcriptions of British diplomatic correspondence with other countries relating to the slave trade in the 19th century printed for the British government. Although slavery in the British Empire was abolished in 1807 enslaved people in the colonies were not freed until 1838. In the present volumes which mostly date from 1837-1846 directly after slavery was abolished in most British colonies the British government urges other countries to help put a halt to the now illegal slave trade. The present collection contains the correspondence between Britain and numerous countries in Europe the Americas and North Africa especially France Spain the United States and Austria. The letters describe the ships carrying enslaved people in detail also mentioning their ports of call so they could be more easily found and stopped. Of particular interest are the transcriptions of slave trade acts from various countries as well as the treaties between France and chiefs in African colonies which are difficult to find in print anywhere else.The letters reveal the profound change in attitude towards slavery in the middle of the 19th century. The tone of the correspondence with countries that were quick in abolishing slavery like Denmark is very different than that of the countries that were much slower like the Netherlands and various countries in Latin America. However the letters especially make clear how difficult it must have been to find and stop the ships that were illegally carrying enslaved people. The owners of the vessels often hid their illegal practices behind obscure transactions and renamings which made finding them arduous and sometimes dangerous. It was the task of British commissioners and naval officers to try to uncover the network behind the Atlantic slave traders and bring them to justice. By collaborating with other countries the courts succeeded in the condemnation of over 600 vessels engaged in the slave trade and the liberation of nearly 80000 enslaved people.Ad 11 with blue library stamp on the title-page "Bibliothèque du palais de la paix". All volumes in good to very good condition some very slight browning and foxing some marginal notes in most volumes. unknown

[Cotton Trade] Maunsel White & CoBiblio.com

NEW-ORLEANS JULY 14 1843. DEAR SIR WE HAVE NOW ARRIVED AT A PERIOD OF THEYEAR WHEN A FEW REMARKS ON THE COTTON TRADE AND THE FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THIS STAPLE WE TRUST MAY PROVE ACCEPTABLE

184341470New Orleans 1843. Printed folio sheet folded to 4 pp each page 9-1/4" x 11-1/4." Printed on recto of first leaf only interior pages blank addressed in ink on last page to Captain J. Keyes Florence Alabama. Old folds address page worn. Blank hole where seal was broken no text affected. Text clean. Very Good. The head of the firm Maunsel White of New Orleans was an energetic Irish immigrant. He married the daughter of a wealthy Creole merchant allied with Andrew Jackson. Wikipedia says "White maintained a lifelong friendship with Jackson for whom he served as a cotton factor from 1826 until Jackson's death in 1845." White carefully delivers hopeful but cautious news to his clients. He celebrates "the marvellous increase in the growth" of cotton "resulting in a crop larger by far than any that has preceded it." However "the next crop will show a considerable falling off. From the onset the season opened unfavorably" because of rains and other weather problems. But "new and extensive channels of trade infused fresh vigor and life into the manufacturing districts of Great Britain." The Letter demonstrates the importance of the South's commercial connection with England. He reminds his customers of "a subject of great importance and one which cannot be too frequently impressed upon your mind; we mean the picking and ginning of the staple the necessity of which is sometimes lost sight of in the desire of sending Cotton early to market." This necessity of course would be met with slave labor. We do not locate this printed letter on OCLC as of November 2025 although OCLC records several items relating to Maunsel White: a letter from Andrew Jackson to White in 1842; the firm's business records at the University of North Carolina; and a similar letter on the cotton trade from 1841 at the Library of Congress OCLC 1284917506. unknown
