The full title is: 'An Address to the Quarterly, Monthly and Preparative Meetings, and the Members thereof, composing the Yearly Meeting of Friends, held in Philadelphia, By the Committee appointed at the late Yearly Meeting to have charge of the Subject of Slavery.' 12pp, 12mo. Pamphlet in (original?) plain brown wraps. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Begins with two pages of extracts from the minutes, 17 May 1839, regarding the setting up of the committee on 'the deeply interesting subject of Slavery', with reference to 'Benjamin Price, Jr. Clerk' and 'Deborah F. Wharton, Clerk.' The address itself, 'Signed by direction and on behalf of the Committee, by | John Jackson, Clerk', is eight pages long. Towards the beginning it notes that 'Many of our forefathers were slave-holders, and the unrighteous practice of holding our fellow-creatures in bondage, was not then forbidden by our discipline.' The change of policy is described, with reference to 'Anthony Benezet and John Woolman'. Later the address notes: 'The advancement of this righteous concern, and the increase of light upon the subject of human rights, are causing this system of iniquity to totter to its base. Hence, under the influence of fearful excitement, many are putting forth their strength to impede the progress of principles, which, if ultimately triumphant, will break the fetters of the slave. A part of the trading interests at the North is evidently involved with those of the South, and an influence is in this way exerted against the onward course of Emancipation; thus light and darkness antagonize each other.' And later still: 'Within a few years, great events hae occurred in relation to Slavery, and much light has been spread on the subject. The experience derived from Emancipation in the British West Indies, has opened a new era. [.] while we have painful evidence that a great body of slave-holders are influenced by injustice and cruelty [.] There are many whose consciences are burdened by a system which they derived from their ancestors, [.] the money of the slave-trader is temptingly held up before them; [.] they cannot separate the tender ties of family connexion among their slaves; they dare not receive the price of blood. [.] We believe they are fervently desiring the deliverance of master and slave, from the bondage to which both are subjected. Their hearts have bounded with joy at the success of Emancipation in the British West Indies; it has opened a door of hope thaty they also may be legally permitted to prove the advantage of requited labour, over that which is extorted by the lash of the oppressor. [.]'. The entries on OCLC WorldCat are not clear, but the item is uncommon.

23 pp.;. 1 vols. 8vo. House of Representative Document No. 3134 September 22, 1890. 23 pp.; 1 vols. 8vo. This document prints the entire text of the International agreements reached at the Brussells Conference on the Slave Trade in Africa. As of 1890 there were 20,000 slaves in Egypt, and near equal amounts in the other North African countries. Most of these slaves were brought from Western and Eastern Sudan and the Congo. The estimates [given in this report] of slaves traded in one year were placed at 80,000. The survival rate of these unfortunates was about one in ten. If one is to err on the side of conservatism, and cut the figure in half, the result is still a staggering loss of 30, 000 lives a year. Signatories to Brussells Conferemce include The United States, England, and all the major European powers. Self-wrappers, stapled.

Folio (210 x 335 mm). A total of 36 reports. With one folding map of Upingtonia. Bound in 3 volumes of red half morocco with giltstamped spine-title. - Includes 6 similar reports (of which 4 bound in one blue cloth volume with "Zanzibar" giltstamped to spine; 2 disbound). A collection of rare British parliamentary papers and correspondence with local agents and officers on the slave trade, of immense importance to the history of slavery and its suppression in Zanzibar, East Africa, Oman, and the Gulf. - Comprises detailed information from men on the spot; one document titled "Reports on Slave Trade on the East Coast of Africa 1887-88" echoing great confidence in the daunting effect of British presence upon slave traders in the Gulf: "I agree [.] that the strict blockade which has been established on the Arabian coast during the past two seasons has to a great extent stopped the transport of cargoes of slaves in large numbers from Africa to the Arabian coast and Persian Gulf". Yet, a couple of years later in 1891 "Papers relating to the Trade in Slaves from East Africa" state that "in the Persian Gulf we have reports of a recrudescence of the Slave Trade from the Bahrieh coast up the gulf [.] The politicial officers in the Persian Gulf may be trusted to take such measures as are in their power to check this trade, but I propose to instruct the 'Sphinx' to do all that she can in patrolling the coast". In fact, a report from the "Sphinx" from the same year mentions the Agent at Sharjah delivering a group of slaves to Bandar Lengeh, who reportedly "came from Zanzibar in a vessel with about twenty others, landed at or near Muscat, and were driven overland, until the Government Agent at Sharjah captured them". Yet, in May 1891 the British remain confident that "the Trade is on its last legs, and the carrying into effect of the Brussels Act [.] will soon stamp out what remains". - Covering an immense range of geography and politics the present material describes the circumstances leading to the blockade of dhows by the German and British authorities along with the French accepting their ships be searched to cut off the opportunity for slave traders to disguise themselves as French ships, next to extensive communications charting the capture of dhows suspected of slave trading in Zanzibar and Madagascar, half-yearly updates counting the number of dhows captured or released and the total number of slaves released over the year, a treaty between Her Majesty and the King of Italy for the suppression of the African slave trade, resolutions of the Slave Trade Conference held in Brussels in 1889-90, the legal status of slavery and concubinage in Zanzibar, a couple of papers relating to the Emin Pasha Relief expedition, and substantial material bringing up British, Portuguese and German interests in Africa including documents leading up to the Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty of 1890, a defining document for the wider region, affecting the establishment of the German East Africa Company and establishing the grievances of the Sultanate of Witu falling under British control. - Slightest edge wear. Occasional small marginal tears. Overall in very good condition.

Folio (220 x 341 mm). VI, 127 pp., final blank page. Original printed wrappers. Collected correspondence on the slave trade between the Foreign Secretary and future British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, and envoys of the British Government to foreign powers. Stationed in Greece, Turkey, Persia, Muscat, Tripoli, New Granada, Peru and the United States, the diplomats describe the situation in the trade (and legal entanglements on all sides), as well as agreements, treaties, ship seizures, and difficulties, including a wealth of information on the suppression of the slave trade in the Arabian Gulf, discussing an 1838 treaty signed by the rulers of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman and Ras al Khaimah allowing the search and seizure of suspicious dhows: "Sheiks Sultan ben Sugger, Rashid ben Humeed, Mukhtoom ben Butye, and Khaleefa ben Shakboot, the chiefs of Ras el Khymah, Ejinan, Debaye, and Aboothabee, were induced to enter into and sign an article of agreement [.] conceding to our cruizers the right of searching and detaining vessels upon the high seas in all cases where their crews might be suspected of having been engaged in the kidnapping of slaves". Yet, a report from 1841 mentions roughly 130 slaves being brought to the ports of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Ras al Khaimah and Umm al Quwain, while another 300 slaves were brought to Bahrain; and a couple of years later, in 1847, the Agent at Bahrain reports that "the Traffic in Slaves by the inhabitants of the Persian coast is on the increase, and that [.] they have begun to convey slaves into the ports of those chiefs on the Arabian coast who have engaged to suppress this inhuman branch of commerce". - Other reports describe the abolition of the slave market in Constantinople, cruelties to slaves on their journey through the Algerian desert, exportation of slaves from New Granada to Peru, and the case of the Lucy Penniman, a U.S. slave ship that set off from Rio de Janeiro and was caught by HMS Cleopatra on the Mozambique coast in 1846. - Some larger tears to wrappers, particuarly at spine-ends and rear cover. Several pages unopened. Scattered pencil annotations throughout. - From the collection of the Edinburgh Ladies' Emancipation Society, a leading abolitionist group based in Edinburgh, Scotland, with their ownership to front cover.

Folio (ca. 205 x 325 mm). 5, (1) pp. Original paper wrappers. Historically important treaty between the Queen of England and Sultan Selim of the Island of Anjouan, or Johanna, 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 Royal Navy in Africa between 1849 and 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. - The slave trade in the British Empire was officially abolished in 1807, although enslaved people in the colonies were not freed until 1838. Throughout the 19th century, Great Britain undertook numerous measures to suppress the slave trade worldwide, mainly through diplomacy and treaties. 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 to be engaged in the 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.

Large 8vo. (16), 759, (1) pp. Heavily worn contemporary quarter calf over original boards. Register of proceedings containing the records of numerous important debates in the Commons on the French Revolution and Slavery, with the abolitionist William Wilberforce tirelessly campaigning and arguing for abolition through the promotion of a number of bills. In February 1793 he had narrowly lost a vote in the Commons where he had been hoping to put pressure on the Lords, and during the sessions of 1793 and 1794 he promoted his Foreign Slave Bill, which would have prohibited the use of British ships to carry slaves to the territories of other countries. The debates in this year also centre on the ongoing situation in France after the Revolution, with concerns that radical agitation would spread to Britain, and Wilberforce believing that insufficient efforts were being made to avoid war with France. - Partially unopened.
