Foreign Slave Trade Report African Institution Naval Communications Correspondence Legislation

This 180 page report, published and circulated by the African Institution as a supplement to their Annual Report, is a digest of information on the subject of the transatlantic slave trade still being pursued by a number of European powers, taken from sources including letters from the Commissioners at Sierra Leone, and other correspondence with France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, and with British naval officers. The report is highly critical of the role of foreign governments in enforcing treaties abolishing the slave trade.

The Recovered Histories, Anti-Slavery International collection holds the French translation of this report, which includes a foreword by the translator (see link).
