95pp, [1]. Disbound. Later resewn. A trifle creased. A series of correspondence relating to the administration of the British colony of Sierre Leone, in particular extracts of the colonial government in regard to the 'treatment of captured negroes and liberated Africans on their first arrival in the colony, and for the better superintendence of their religious instruction and education after their settlement' and 'the raising of regular and militia corps among the blacks, and the withdrawal of white troops'. From the recently dispersed library (without any indication of such) of British scholar and senior civil servant William St Clair (1937-2021), and presumably used by him in his research for his acclaimed book The Grand Slave Emporium: Cape Coast Castle and the British Slave Trade (2006). Size: Folio.
