1812rif. AQ27618London: s.n. 1812. 19pp 1. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Bound with: Drop-head title: Further paper relating to the slave trade. Viz. Observation by William Dawes Esquire one of the Commissioners ;- in addition to the Report made by the Commission of African Enquiry. - 1811. London s.n. 1812. 21-22pp 1. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Folio. Disbound. Stab-stitch holes to gutters. Later resewn. Early manuscript page numbers to upper margins. A rare survival of a report on the condition of British territories on the Gold Coast of Africa in particular efforts to tarry the Spanish and Portuguese slave trade. Of interest are the expense tables showing the cost of maintaining British forts in the region; Cape Coast Castle for example has an average annual charge of £3277 with 'Black Men's Pay' making up £179 and 'Castle Slaves' costing £990. The report is here paired with the second located copy of an addendum by sometime governor of Sierra Leone William Dawes 1762-1836 that whilst broadly agreeing with the findings nevertheless suggests an increase in naval power off the African Coast. Soon after this paper was printed Dawes at the suggestion of William Wilberforce travelled to Antigua to work for the anti-slavery cause there. OCLC and COPAC together record copies of the first mentioned work at just three locations John Carter Brown NLW and Princeton.

1850rif. AQ27621London: s.n. 1850. 26pp 2. Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Disbound. Later resewn. Early alternate pagination in manuscript to upper corners. From the recently dispersed library of William St Clair with his distinctive pencilled ownership inscription to head of title. A series of dispatches relating to the violent torture of Cape Coast native Robert Erskine. In 1847 whilst a domestic in the service of Captain Augustus William Murray of the 1st West-India Regiment and stationed at the infamous Cape Coast Castle Erskine was accused of having stolen sundry articles of jewellery from the officer. Despite his protestations of innocence and a lack of any evidence connecting him with the crime Erskine was brutally tortured for eight days. In consequence of his torment he lost the use of his hands. It was later ascertained that the actual culprit was a soldier of the 1st West India Regiment and likely one of the individuals who engaged in Erskine's maltreatment. A year after the event the Aborigines Protection Society took up Erskine's case and successfully prosecuted it in 1851.

The report of a parliamentary committee appointed to evaluate the condition of the state of trade and establishments of the African Company issued four years prior its ultimate dissolution by the British Government in 1821. With the exception of the major forts such as Cape Coast Castle many British forts were not particularly well defended nor maintained and as such their efficacy as a deterrent to slave traders greatly diminished. Parliament frustrated by this reduced effectiveness pursued a policy of reducing the number of African Company settlements through the abandonment of any upon strict inquiry not found to be of service in a sufficient degree to warrant their expenditure.

Foolscap folio viii 246 pp. edges uncut; bound in half crimson morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe original printed wrappers bound in at the end. Detailed report of New Zealand affairs from April 1850 to August 1851 providing an overview of this pivotal era in New Zealand history marking a transition from early unstructured settlement toward a more organized Anglican-led colonial identity and the first steps toward self-governance. Governor George Grey was under immense pressure from the Settlers' Constitutional Associations while this period also saw the arrival of the "First Four Ships" in Lyttelton in December 1850 and pressure from the newly formed Canterbury Association to create a "slice of England" in the South Island complete with a structured social hierarchy and a strong Anglican Church presence. Of special interest are reports for the introduction of Maori representation in government and parliament presentations from Queen Victoria to various native chiefs the acquisition of lands by the New Zealand Company and the settlement of pensioner emigrants in New Zealand. .

1824rif. 6000004London: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1824. Folio pp ii added general title-page for the parliamentary year 737-756; unbound neat paper spine. A crucial landmark in the creation of the Australian Agricultural Company and the first official use of the great company's name. Two months earlier the House of Commons had passed a bill incorporating "The Australian Company of London" which this overrides Ferguson 949. The Australian Agricultural Company or AACo played a huge role in shaping the early Australian economy. From its establishment in 1824 it was responsible for the development and expansion of the Hunter Valley and other regions. Surviving all the rural challenges - including droughts economic depressions and labour shortages - its long-term impact on early Australia was substantial in establishing agriculture as a primary industry and contributing to Australia's economy famously "riding on the sheep's back". AACo continues to be a significant player in today's agricultural sector today as Australia's largest integrated cattle and beef producer owning and operating approximately 7 million hectares of land in Queensland and the Northern Territory. This vast landholding represents roughly 1% of Australia's land mass highlighting the company's substantial presence in the country's agricultural landscape. . George Eyre and Andrew Strahan unknown
