Memoranda French Slave Trade Morenas Giudicelly Abolition Petition

Precis

44 page British pamphlet regarding the progress of the campaign to halt the French slave trade and the controversy in France over the allegations of Morenas and Giudicelly that French slave ships were still trading on the West Africa coast. The Memoranda comments on the petition presented by Morenas to the French Chamber of Deputies in 1820, and the report of the committee formed to investigate Morenas's allegations. It concludes that the abolition of the slave trade has not been effected as promised by the French government.
