It may be well, however, before proceeding to state the conclusions to which we have come, that we should give a brief sketch of the Traffic, and of the mode in which it is at present carried on.Item Gold Coast. Despatch from Governor J. Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., and Reply, Relative to His Estimate of the Nature and Importance of the Ashantee Invasion(Harrison and Sons, London., 1873-07) The House of CommonsItem From Cape Coast to Coomasie, a narrative of the Ashantee War.(The Illustrated London News Office, London., 1874) The Illustrated London NewsThe foregoing statement is an outline of the history to be related in our present narrative. But the more detailed account of those transactions may be suitably preceded by a short description of the British establishment on the Gold Coast, the Fantee tribes around them, and the Ashantee kingdom, as hitherto known from travellers' reports. These subjects will therefore occupy our first attention. The Gold Coast was visited so long ago as 1364 by some French merchant adventurers of Rouen and Dieppe.Item Further Correspondence relating to the Abolition of Slavery on the Gold Coast.(Harrison and Sons, 1875) House of Parliament, Gold CoastI have the honour to forward to your Lordship copy of a document which I have received purporting to be a petition of certain Kings and Chiefs of the Protectorate. 2. The names which appear upon it, besides those of twelve Cape Coast Chiefs, are those of the Kings of Mankessim, Abrah, Eccomfie, Inkosokoom, and Gomoah, two Chiefs of Salt Pond, and twenty-three other Chiefs, mostly of small dependencies of Mankessim and Abrah. I may remark that the districts represented by the Kings are in immediate contiguity with each other, and comprise a part of that limited area of territory bearing the specific name of Fanti country which, as your Lordship is aware, constitutes only a very small portion of the Protectorate. The assertion of representative character as being for all Kings and Chiefs of the Protectorate" is an assumption which simply has no warrant or foundation whatever.Item Correspondence relating to the Affairs of the Gold Coast.(Harrison and Sons, 1875-02-05) Great Britain Colonial OfficeItem Correspondence Relating To the Queen's Jurisdiction on the Gold Coast and the Abolition of Slavery within the Protectorate(Harrison and Sons, 1875-02-06) Command of Her MajestyWhereas the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty has resolver to abolish slave dealing in Her Protectorate of the Gold Coast and the importation thereinto of slaves and persons intended to be dealt with as slaves and also to provide for the Emancipation of persons holden as slaves within the said ProtectorateItem Affairs of the Gold Coast and Threatened Ashanti Invasion.(George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1881-08) Great Britain Colonial OfficeItem Correspondence respecting the Territory on the West Coast of Africa.(Harrison and Sons, 1883) Her Majesty’s GovernmentCorrespondence respecting the Territory on the West Coast of Africa lying between 5°, 12′ and 8° of South Latitude:1845 – 77.Item Further Correspondence regarding the Affairs of the Gold Coast.(Eyre and Spottiswoode, London., 1884) Governor of the Gold CoastI have the honour to transmit herewith, for your Lordship's information, copies of two letters received from the District Commissioner at Cape Coast. In both, he refers to the falling off of trade from the interior to the coast, and mentions in the second the opinions expressed to him upon the subject by four of the principal merchants of Cape Coast, who stated that owing to obstacles placed by the tribes through whose countries traders had to pass on their way to coast, the interior trade was driven to Grand Bassam, a French Settlement and free port, and to other countries where traders can undisturbed trade direct with the Bristol ships.Item Further Correspondence respecting the Affairs of the Gold Coast.(Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1885-07) Great Britain Colonial OfficeCopies of all Correspondence between the Governor in Chief in West Africa, or the Administrator of Cape Coast, and Her Majesty’s Government, relative to the Arrest and Deportation to Sierra Leone, without Trial, of King Aggery of Cape Coast: and, any previous Correspondence relative to differences with King Aggery.
