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".

1855List3333Massachusetts New York Maine Pennsylvania and others 1855. Fifty letters with four empty envelopes or covers. Forty-four letters addressed to I.H. Bartlett & Sons: two from the 1830s eight from the 1840s and thirty-four from the 1850s. With five letters addressed to Capt. John C. Blanchard 1838 1839 1844 and 1849 and one to Cumston & Hatch N.d. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Ivory Hovey Bartlett 1794–1871 was a merchant and whale oil seller based in New Bedford Massachusetts. Bartlett moved to New Bedford from Plymouth in 1819 first dealing in grain and later transitioning to general merchandise and whaling.1 Whale oil and spermaceti were widely used in lamps and as lubricant and whalebone baleen was used for structure in items like umbrellas and corsets. In the nineteenth century whaling was the basis of New Bedford’s economy—supporting shipbuilding refineries toolworks and more—making it the wealthiest city in North America at the peak of the industry in the midcentury. Whaling declined in the 1860s with the rise of petroleum which could be both used as a lubricant and distilled into kerosene for lighting.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a collection of letters mainly to Bartlett’s company I.H. Bartlett & Sons with five to Captain John C. Blanchard of Searsport Maine and one to Cumston & Hatch. The latter is unknown; Blanchard was in the cotton and sugar trades sailing between the US Europe and West Indies.<br /> <br /> Letters to Bartlett are mainly from other mercantile firms; they pay bills make purchases discuss oil prices and occasionally complain. For instance Robert Robinson of Portland Maine writes:<br /> <br /> “I have just got 4 Casks of my oil 3 of the last and 1 of the invoice of 30th ult. I cannot understand why my oil should be keep back in this way. Hyde had seven casks by yesterdays Boat the same boat which mine came by it seem’s as if the fates where against this Oil as yesterday boat did not arrive untill late yesterday afternoon and this mornings boat has arrived without the balance there must be something wrong somewhere . I must say I think such neglect should be made known but perhaps it would be better to suffer for fear of the future. I shall not be able to get off any oil untill tomorrow as the oil was not out of the boat untill this morning. it is not thirteen days since that one cask left New Bedford .â€. October 13 1852<br /> <br /> Most of Bartlett’s customers buy whale oil though beef molasses and coal are also discussed but some are interested in whalebone; as are Wright Bros & Co a Philadelphian umbrella manufacturer who write to complain about market speculation:<br /> <br /> “The fact appears to us that speculation and the calculation of holders put the price kept it so high that it considerably lessened consumption – so much so of late that some have been disposed to slide it off below New Bedford rates very quietly.†October 23 1852<br /> <br /> The letters to all parties are generally all business except for two of the five to John Blanchard: one from his wife Caroline Houston and one from fellow Searsport captain David Nickels Jr. 1823–1888 who writes from Bangor:<br /> <br /> “I see by to day’s Mercantile gazette that you are in trouble I can sympathize with you God knows I have had a good share of it since I left the land of Gospel light and liberty as the good people say in their prayers I have been in this place fifteen days you doubtless knew I was chartered by Capt Pendleton to go from Leith to Bangor for a cargo of slates and from here to Boston I sailed from Leith on the 27th of November last for this place I got as far as the Orkney Islands on the 30th of November the wind blowing heavy from the westward and having a pilot belonging to the Orkneys on board I concluded to take the harbour of Longhope and lay till a shift of wind or till it moderated . in spite of all our endeavouring we were driven on shore broke the keel out of her filled as high as the lower deck which was on the 3d of December and on the 22d of March we left the Orkney Islands after having been near four months there When I got here I found the man who was to freight the Barque from here to Boston had neglected to place funds in the hands of the slate agent of this place consequently he refuses to put slates on board of the vessel till he receives funds from Boston .â€. May 13 1849<br /> <br /> Overall a look at the dealings of maritime merchants in the mid-nineteenth century particularly in the critical east coast whaling industry.<br /> <br /> 1 “Death of a Well-Known Merchant†The Standard-Times February 6 1871 2. unknown
1849List3334New York City 1849. Eight letters. Overall excellent. A small collection of letters to Boston-based grocers Silas Pierce & Co. sent from New York by steamboat with notes on covers or stamps reading “Boat Mail†or “Steam Boat Mailâ€. Five of the letters are from Wyckoff & Scrymser which was likely owned by a member or members of the prominent New York Wyckoff family the Scrymser surname first appears in the Wyckoff family history in 18411. Wyckoff & Scrimser discuss sweet and red wine prices “opperations in Trent†likely Trento Italy delayed shipments and issues with products; for instance:<br /> <br /> “The Harmony has not yet made her appearance neither the Aselia the non arrival of the latter is very perplexing but we see no remedy for it. . Annexed please find the sales of the Raisins amount Nett proceeds to your Co Nine Thousand One Hundred Seventy Four 06/100 Dollars which we hope may be found correct and satisfactory. There were a number of the parcels that were sold from the wharf but rejected which we were obliged to and store that the objections might not be known &c. The half boxes . did not have any external appearance of damage and could onky be known by opening. We rather congratulated ourselves that we have got off so well with this fruit as we had strong fears of the result.†December 29 1843<br /> <br /> Also discussing business with Italy is a letter from Wm. A Lüs on behalf of Ferd. Baller & Co. of Messina which traded in citrus fruit:<br /> <br /> “The principal object of my friends is to introduce their Brand favorably into your market & their efforts to do this will alone be sufficient to secure you a superior article of fruit & other Goods; . they are also in the position of obtaining any other Sicilian produce at the most advantageous terms while at Messina or Palermo through their agent there.†August 30 1849<br /> <br /> Demand for citrus products was high as it had been discovered late in the 18th century that citrus prevented and cured scurvy. Demand was so great in fact that some researchers partly credit the citrus trade with creating the Sicilian mafia.2<br /> <br /> A letter from the Bank of Commerce in New York discusses credit and lastly Joseph Knowles possibly of the Massachusetts-based Thomas Knowles & Company sends an intriguing note:<br /> <br /> “Your favor of the 26th inst is rec’d For the intimations therein contained I cannot feel too highly flattered — Trusting that the above Jacob Little Co’s check on Messrs Gilbert & Sons for Three hundred eighty nine dollars $389 may remove all scruples – I would request that the shoes be shipped in good order by first sailing packet for New Yorkâ€. October 27 1840<br /> <br /> This is plausibly related to the investor and stock speculator Jacob Little 1794–1865 known for his short-selling tactics and generally considered as Knowles suggests unscrupulous.3<br /> <br /> Of interest to researchers of mercantile history in the northeast and steamboat mail.<br /> <br /> 1 Mr. and Mrs. M.

First edition. a-b2 B-Z4. i-x 1-176. 186 pp. Diplomatic messages with the USA on pages 19-144. One full-page engraved map titled "Route of the Egyptian Army under Ahmed Pasha on a Slaving Expedition February 1843" by Standidge and Co. p. 169. Later black half morocco binding over black cloth with five raised bands forming six compartments on spine with gilt-lettered title in second and fourth compartments and date in sixth with the binder's ticker of Monastery Hill Bindery on back pastedown<br/> <br/> Important documents letters and reports regarding Great Britain's efforts to curtail the African slave trade across the globe including over 100 pages of diplomatic cables with the USA.<br/> <br/> "Class D. 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
