Seller's Description:
Fair. 8vo. xx, 426pp, appendix. Contemporary full leather, with maroon leather title label in gilt to spine. Prev owners signature dated 1828 on title page. Fore-edge damp stained affecting all pages and covers mainly confined to the margins, a few pencilled lines in margins. For the last 50 pages there is some slight loss of paper at margins with only minimal loss of a few letters in printed marginalia on one or two pages, and the loss of the page number on the final page. The paper in the margins remains very brittle. Pages 306-395 deal exlusively with laws pertaining to the slave trade and its abolition making this a significant early documentation of abolition. Further significant sections deal with tobacco, various forms of alcohol, live stock, coffee and other agricultural products including spices and the transport of aliens among many other topics. Extremely scarce-I find only one copy passing through auction in the past 20 years, that copy being similarly damaged. Photographs and specific detail on request.
