1833réf. 7535Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode Printers to the King's most Excellent Majesty 1833. 12pp. sm. folio with fine woodcut arms of William IV on front page; disbound an exceptionally crisp virtually spotless copy ideal for display or presentation. 3 Gulielmi IV. Cap. 9; granted royal assent 6 May 1833. This is the Act of Parliament formally incorporating the Seaman's Hospital Society establishing and naming its first governors and prescribing its powers and scope of operations. By way of context its military equivalent the Royal Hospital at Chelsea was founded in 1692. The world's first charitable society for the relief of distressed seamen was established in London in March 1821. Initially it aimed to cater for those in the Port of London 'who at that time were very numerous in the Metropolis' and fittingly for the world's leading maritime nation did not differentiate on nationality or any other grounds other than disability and hardship. The motivating principles seem to have been partly public gratitude in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars in which the Royal Navy in particular had played a fundamental role in achieving victory and partly increased recognition of the helplessness of private seamen and the strength of their cause. The society was supported entirely by donations subscriptions and legacies and by the loan by government of a hospital ship HMS Dreadnought moored at Greenwich. In its first twelve years the society provided relief and support to upwards of twenty-three thousand sick and distressed seamen 'many of whom might otherwise have perished'. With the case clearly made it was time for a more formal and robust body with increased remit and governance; accordingly the Seaman's Hospital Society was given royal assent on 6 May 1833. Its significant extra powers included the rights to possess property receive bequests purchase lands and canvass donations; most important of all it was granted 'perpetual succession'. The original HMS Dreadnought continued in use until 1870 when the Admiralty made available at nominal rent the infirmary at Greenwich where the 'Dreadnought' hospital continues to this day. AN ACT OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE AND WELL-BEING OF SEAMEN IN BRITAIN AND A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH MARITIME HISTORY. VERY SCARCE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.

1812réf. 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. OCLC records a single copy of the second mentioned work NLSA; COPAC adds no further. . [s.n.] unknown
1850réf. 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.

A rare survival of copies of correspondence relating to act to divest the African Company of Merchants of the charge and management of forts and settlements on the Gold Coast of Africa and transfer their control to the Crown. The act that abolished the company was passed in May 1821 and the transfer ownership of eight forts including the notorious Cape Coast Castle was affected on 3rd July the day after these letters were ordered by Commons to be printed. They contain listings of the Company's employees and respective salaries and abstract of annual stipends paid to local Kings and Cabboceers.

Between 1818 and 1821 Collier commanded the six-ship coast of Africa squadron with a remit to suppress the slave trade a charge he undertook with zeal significantly reducing the traffic of slaves from the continent. In 1820 his work was recognised by election to honorary life membership of the African Institution.

1817réf. AQ27622London: s.n. 1817. 63pp 1. Disbound. Later resewn. Terminal leaf creased. 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.

1851réf. 6000078London: William Clowes and Sons for HMSO 1851. 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. .
