1789réf. 187101789. Committee of the Whole House of the British Parliament investigation into the Atlantic slave trade recorded in Abridgment of the Minutes of the Evidence Taken Before a Committee of the Whole House to Whom It Was Referred to Consider of the Slave Trade published 1789 to 1791 presenting one of the earliest parliamentary documentary compilations addressing the operation and human consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. The volumes preserve testimony gathered during parliamentary inquiries that examined the practices of British slave traders and the treatment of enslaved Africans transported across the Atlantic. These proceedings formed part of the political campaign in Britain that eventually culminated in the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807. The collected evidence includes statements from ship surgeons naval officers merchants and other witnesses whose accounts describe the conditions experienced by enslaved Africans during capture transport and plantation labor. Abridgment of the Minutes of the Evidence Taken Before a Committee of the Whole House To Whom It Was Referred to Consider of the Slave Trade. London: 1789-1791. First edition first printing. Four volumes bound in two books. The compilation reproduces testimony presented before Parliament concerning the organization and operation of the slave trade and includes firsthand statements describing the physical suffering and resistance of enslaved Africans during transport. Surgeon Alexander Falcon-Bridge who had firsthand experience aboard slave ships described acts of despair among captives: he "Has known several enslaved persons to refuse sustenance with a design to starve themselves. refusing to take medicines when sick because they wished to die. Many other slaves expressed the same." Another witness Royal Navy surgeon Thomas Trotter recorded the emotional trauma experienced by captives during embarkation noting that "Slaves on being brought on board showed signs of extreme distress and despair from a feeling of their situation and regret at being torn from friends and connections." The volumes therefore preserve testimony that exposed the violence and human suffering embedded within the Atlantic slave trading system. During the eighteenth century European and American traders transported millions of Africans across the Atlantic through a commercial system that relied on maritime networks linking West Africa the Caribbean and the Americas. Parliamentary investigations of the slave trade in the late eighteenth century were fueled in part by abolitionist activism and public campaigns demanding government inquiry into the practice. Publications of witness testimony such as this abridged parliamentary record circulated evidence used by reformers advocating the end of the trade. Four volumes bound in two books with folding table in the fourth volume. Octavo format. Contemporary marbled quarter calf bindings with modern bookplates on the front past down. Wear present with most spine titles lacking and foxing primarily affecting the title pages; text remains clear. Overall condition very good. unknown

réf. AQ30000Single leaf mulready letter- sheet folded addressed to 'Mrs Clive Sanderstead Croydon Surrey' postmarked Frome with the 306 duplex cancellation to folded front and further post-marks of Croydon and Frome dated September 1844 to folded verso. Some tears to folds margins without loss of text remains of opened wax seal and old paper repairs to recto. The earliest of several known variants of this rare plea for donations for the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and for the Civilization of Africa printed on the reverse of a 'Mulready' penny postal stationary sheet. First issued on 1 May 1840 in parallel with the world's first stamp - the Penny Black - these pre-paid self-folding letter sheets featured an engraved design by John Thompson after William Mulready 1786-1863 and were valid for use from 6th May. Much to postal reformer Rowland Hill's surprise unlike their adhesive philatelic counterpart the Mulready covers quickly proved unpopular both with customers and stationers - who relied upon the sale of writing paper for letters - alike. They were superseded by the introduction of simpler postal stationary with impressions akin to stamps in the top left hand corner in 1841; Mulready sheets were subsequently withdrawn from sale during the early 1840s. Despite their unpopularity soon after issue the promotional opportunities provided by advertising on the verso of the Mulready letter-sheets were seized upon by commercial and voluntary associations alike. Insurance companies banks newspapers publishers and religious institutions are all known to have advertised in such a manner; many made this stationary available in quantity at a discounted rate to ensure wide circulation to the writing desks of the literate across Britain. Advertisements for The Society for the Extinction of the African Slave Trade are known to have featured on nine slightly different advertisements to the verso of the Mulready one- and two-penny letter-sheets; this is the earliest known advertising that 'Shortly will be Published' an Abridgement of Buxton's The African Slave Trade London 1840 implying that these were issued in the very first year of the stationary's use. The fact that no fewer than four works published by John Murray are also advertised could indicate that the cost of producing these pre-paid advertising letter sheets was borne by the publisher. 'A subscription of One Guinea and upwards per annum constitutes an Annual Member. A donation of Ten Guineas and upwards constitutes a Life Member Subscriptions and donations of a smaller amount will be thankfully received.' Founded by English politician Fowell Buxton 1786-1845 in June 1839 with the aim not only of finally extinguishing the Slave Trade in Africa some decades after the original abolition of the Trade in Britain her colonies and the United States but also to 'watch over and befriend the interests of Africa' and form a commercial 'Company which shall cultivate portions of her soil'. As noted in this advertisement which sought 'subscriptions and donations' this included persuading the British Government's sending an expedition see item number 36 led by the Royal Navy to explore the Niger river which despite the death of a full third of the those involved largely to fever did secure the signing of several treaties against the slave trade with tribes in modern day Nigeria. As this advertisement - signed by secretary Irish clergyman and missionary John Trew 1792-1869 notes further expeditions 'into the interior of Africa' were envisaged at 'considerable expense' to the society; however the Society was acrimoniously dissolved in 1843 - the year before this letter-sheet was used - before any such expeditions could be repeated.
