"Following the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, in which Great Britain provided for the immediate abolition of slavery in all of its West Indian colonies with a £20m restitution to the slaveowners, a few of their colonies passed their own legislative acts. Only two such acts were separately printed however; St. Kitts and the present one on the island of Dominica. Conforming to the 1833 British parliamentary act, the present act details the newly-formed apprenticeship system as well as stipulations concerning punishments, land ownership, the bearing of arms, etc." --description by Librería de Antaño
