1845réf. ABC_48495Johanna Anjouan 1845. Ca. 32.5 x 20.5 cm. Original paper wrappers. 5 1 blank pp. Historically important treaty between Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1819-1901 and Sultan Selim dates unknown of Johanna present-day Anjouan for the suppression of the slave trade. The treaty was concluded in November 1844. The present work is the ratified version from 10 December 1845 signed by Sultan Selim and Christopher Wyvill 1792-1863 captain of the HMS Cleopatra and formation commander of the British Royal Navy in Africa between 1849-1853. The publication is exceptionally rare. We have not been able to find any printed copies anywhere else either in sales records or libraries. The archives of the UK parliament make mention of the treaty but it appears to be otherwise unknown.In the present work the Sultan of Anjouan states that: "There shall be no dealing in slaves in our territory and no slaves shall be imported to be sold in our country". He further allows the British to inspect Anjouan ships and take them to an English port if they are found engaging in slave trade. The present treaty which is of significant historical importance is an excellent example of the measures that were undertaken across the world to stop the slave trade.The leaves are slightly creased and browned around the edges. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
1675réf. 45901London: Printed by the Assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker 1675. Enforcing the Triangular Trade: The Basis for the British Colonial System A rare broadside reiterating and reinforcing the decree of the English government that all foreign goods destined for British colonies must first pass through England a policy of mercantilism later termed the "triangle trade." "This program permitted the profits from colonial trade and commerce to center in England promoted British shipping and enabled the British government to support itself by taxing this trade as it flowed through England" - DAH. The English government began its mercantilist policies under the Commonwealth government in a series of "navigation acts" which regulated English trade. The first Navigation Act passed in 1651 targeted Dutch commerce. It stipulated that only English ships could carry freight into English territories and that if a ship was not English it could only carry goods from the country from whence it hailed i.e. Dutch ships could only import Dutch goods etc. Acts passed in 1660 and 1663 under the Restoration government of Charles II isolated trade even further mandating that British colonial goods only be imported to England and forbidding English trade on anything other than English vessels. This policy of trade which was continued for the next two hundred years marked the ascent of British colonial mercantilism and planted the seeds of discontent which resulted in the American Revolution one hundred years later. The present proclamation is an enforcement of the Navigation Act of 1663 An Act for the Encouragement of Trade under which "no commodities of the growth production or manufacture of Europe shall be imported into any land island plantation colony territory or place to his Majesty belonging." In other words all European trade to the American and East Indian colonies of the English had to pass through English ports en route. As the law is being disobeyed to the detriment of trade and tax revenue the proclamation extends power for enforcement to the officials of the realm. It states: ".whereas his Majesty is well informed that notwithstanding the said Act of Parliament great quantities of other commodities.have been and are daily imported into several of his colonies plantations and territories in Asia Africa and America.and that his Majesties subjects of some of his colonies and plantations have not onely sic supplied themselves with such commodities not shipped in England.but have conveyed them by land and water to other of his Majesties colonies and plantations to the great prejudice of his Majesties customs and of the trade and navigation of this kingdom." An important proclamation which illustrates the difficulty in maintaining and enforcing the laws central to the first British Empire. Old fold lines. Repaired with tissue on verso along vertical fold. A few other small tears or tissue repairs. Very good. ESTC R25339. WING C3378. GOLDSMITHS' 2112. STEELE I:3619. KRESS S1421. DAH III p.374. unknown
