"An important primary source on England's efforts to stamp out the African slave trade, printing many diplomatic exchanges with France, Sardinia, Tuscany, Haiti, and Venezuela. These items report on the illegal traffic, with data on slave ships sailing illegally under the flags of nations that have outlawed the slave trade; the inhumane treatment inflicted on the captured Africans; and material on international Slave Trade Conventions. Palmerston writes, 'The demand for human begins as articles of traffic on the Coast of Africa keeps up among the Africans the practice of war for man-stealing, and occasions an infinite variety of crimes and atrocities." –Description from vendor
