Best.-Nr. 23456Howick 25 June 1857. Six pages 12mo good condition. He finds it difficult to give advice because of his "being so imperfectly informed as to the present state of the question of immigration into Guiana. - It is obvious that the course which ought to be taken must depend upon whether the Colonists have or have not reason to complain of the conduct of the Government.- If they have & if any facilities for obtaining labour which might be granted to them have been with-held then a discussion would seem to be desirable & in the present word obscured of the session & if parties in the House of Commons I do not see how you could ruin a discussion except by asking a question & making a statement in explanation of it going into Committee of Supply. But if the Govt as I think it most likely sincerely desire to do all that can properly be done to encourage immigartion & only refuse to consent to measures to which there is a just objectn it would seem to me doubtful whether there would be any advantage in bringing on a discussion or whether it would be quite right to do so. - For this reason if I had remained in town & had had words deleted to present the petition to the House of Lords I would in the first instance have called upon the gentlemen connected with the colony in this country for a clear explanation of what they want & of the grounds on which they think the government ought to do more for them & I w-ould have endeavoured to satisfy myself whether they are right or wrong in order that in presenting the petition I might express the opinion I had formed which you know is allowed in the House of Lords. .".

Best.-Nr. 24267Dated from Downing Street 15 June 1849. An interesting indication of the Victorian approach to transparency in government.

Begins: ‘Having received from some of the Governors of His Majesty’s Colonies statements of the injury to the Public Service which has occasionally resulted from the communication to Parliament and the consequent publication of despatches and other documents received at this Office from the Governors I think it expedient to call your attention to the fact that the increasing direction of public attention towards the affairs of the Colonies has lately led to very frequent and pressing applications from Members of Parliament for the communication to Parliament of the whole or portions of correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Governors and it has often been found difficult for the Secretary of State to judge at a distance whether injury would or would not arise to the public interests of a Colony from the communication of the papers applied for’. Dated from Downing Street, 15 June 1849. unknown

Text reads: ‘Sir / I have had under my consideration the evils which have been experienced in some of the West Indian Colonies but more extensively still in the Island of Mauritius from the unsteady habits of certain classes of Immigrants. I have addressed to the Governor of Mauritius a Dispatch in which I have suggested the adoption of a system in respect to Coolie Immigrants which appears to me to be calculated to meet these evils and to be applicable also to the case of Coolie or any other Immigrants introduced into the West Indian Colonies otherwise than at their own Cost. I transmit to you herewith a Copy of this Dispatch and I request you to consider it as embodying the principles of regulation in this matter which if the Colonial Legislatures should be disposed to adopt Her Majesty’s Government would be prepared to sanction.’ TWO: Printed copy of Grey’s dispatch ‘No. 38’ to Mauritius Governor ‘Lieut.-General / Sir W.

Best.-Nr. 005597Paris: Jacques Lafitte. Stiff Wraps. Very Good. Scarce with no recorded copies on OCLC and not in BNF catalogue. N.d. 1930s and possibly Oblong 4to. 21 by 27 cm. 24 pp. A farcical story of an eccentric professor who chases after a sailor around the globe because a stamp from his collection was stolen. Along the way the professor has all kinds of contretemps with the natives -- Congolese Tahitians Martiniquians etc. Written and illustrated with a brio that is unbounded by bigotry or political rectitude as we now know it and a prism on rascist attitudes of an earlier era. Loosely in the spirit of Tintin stories or even Babar a little and contemporaneous with the early editions of both of those. The dating is tricky. There is the number 1943 indicated in small print on the final leaf but we don't think it is plausible that this was printed that late when Paris was under occupation. More plausible is an issuance in conjunction with the Coloniale Exposition which occurred in 1931 but there is no concrete evidence of this either. From the physical traits and the general style of the production though we are reasonably confident that it hailed from the thirties. Light wear. Jacques Lafitte unknown

1778Best.-Nr. 1076London: Printed by Charles Eyre and William Strahan. 1778. First edition. Folio 32 x 20cm. Unbound. 2 1007-1012. Woodcut coat of arms to the title page decorative woodcut initial to the first text page text in black letter. A very good copy with just a little toning slight separation and minor wear to the left-hand margin where once bound within a larger volume. An act restoring Ireland's ability to export goods directly to the colonies in the Americas and Africa issued in the context of the American Revolutionary War and amending what became known as the Navigation Acts. Restricting the freedoms of Britain's colonies with regard to the import and export of goods the Navigation Acts had been a significant factor in fermenting rebellious discontent in America - requiring all of a colony's imports to be either bought from Britain or resold by British merchants in Britain regardless of the price obtainable elsewhere. The acts were also resented in Ireland and damaged its economy as they permitted the importation of English goods into Ireland tariff-free and simultaneously imposed tariffs on Irish exports travelling in the opposite direction. The present act removing some of these barriers demonstrates the changing nature of British mercantilism as the American Revolution progressed. London: Printed by Charles Eyre and William Strahan. unknown
