Slavery.- [?Knight (James)] Some Observations on the Assiento Trade, as it has been Exercised by the South-Sea Company; proving the Damage, which will accrue thereby to the British Commerce and Plantations in America, and particularly to Jamaica...by a person who resided several Years at Jamaica, first edition, a few markings and underlinings in ink, stab-holes, later half roan, uncut, very slightly rubbed, [Goldsmiths' 6598; Hanson 3721; Kress 3765, "The best account we have of the Assiento trade" (Foxwell); Sabin 86683], 8vo, H.Whitridge, 1728.⁂ In 1713, by the Treaty of Utrecht, England had been granted a 30-year slave asiento (assiento) by Spain which gave Britain the contract to export slaves from Africa to the Spanish colonies, a monopoly that was administered by the South Sea Company. The present work describes the difficulties between the Company and the Jamaica merchants over the terms of the contract. It is a useful treatise on the economics of the Atlantic slave trade attacking the policies of the South Sea Company which, the author suggests, had deprived Jamaica of its fair share of the lucrative slave trade.

Report from the Select Committee on Postage Label Stamps, modern boards preserving original wrappers on covers, 1852; and another on the London to Edinburgh mail, 8vo (3)⁂ A theatre proprietor in both Bath and Bristol, John Palmer (1742-1818) is now remembered perhaps most of all for his promotion of a network of mail coaches for the safe and speedy conveyance of mails on the principal routes from London. In 1784 a trial run on the Bristol-Bath-London road was hugely successful and Palmer was appointed surveyor and comptroller-general with a salary of £1500 and a 2½% share in the increased revenue of the Post Office. Palmer eventually fell out with the Post Office over contractual arrangements and was suspended but given a Post Office pension granted by William Pitt. This volume relates to Palmer's claims for compensation.The second item was the ground-breaking report concerning perforated postage stamps which were introduced in 1854, the first use of such in the world.
