- Abstract:
- Manuscript, in a single hand with numerous corrections, of a collection of 15 letters describing life in England, translated into French, possibly from German. The letters discuss English lotteries; the proliferation of newspapers; the constitution and the difficulty of reconciling ideology with practice; Parliamentary elections; literary societies; and the nobility. One letter describes and deplores the cruelty of amusements such as hunting, cock-fighting, and "combats des gladiateurs"; another letter mocks an English law against the illegal wearing of buttons. A letter dated December 14, 1790 discusses the possibility of the abolition of the slave trade; the author declares it is the most talked-of subject of conversation and expresses his astonishment that the trade still exists and The letters are followed by a lengthy essay explaining the Women's March on Versailles on October 5-6, 1789. The volume is prefaced by a note by the translator, who criticizes the motives of many travel writers; says that he was drawn to this letter-writer for his curiosity and interest in humanity; and explains that the writer published two volumes, the first of letters written in Paris and Versailles during the revolution in 1789, and the second of letters in England

The remaining documents are all connected to the 1813 raid on the factory by the Royal Navy. These include the Qui Tam writ by John Edward Browne describing the capture and setting forth the Crown's charges; an abjuration of the slave trade by a Mrs. Boy; a more detailed abjuration document signed by Phillipa Hayes and John Stirling Mills that includes a confession of their participation in the trade; and a letter to Mills from "Captain Roach" regarding the seizure of the slaves and his unsettled business with Bostock
