Erstausgabe
First edition of this compilation of issues of Cobbett's Register collected in 1821 bound together with Cropper's letters to Wilberforce. Octavo, bound in three quarters calf over marbled boards. Bookplate of Edward Nicholas Hurt to the front panel, with his signature to the title page and notes to the front free endpaper and verso. In very good condition. First editions are scarce, with the last copy appearing at auction was in 1948. James Cropper (1773â "1840) was an English businessman in Liverpool and philanthropist, known as an abolitionist. Successful in business, Cropper became the founder of Cropper, Benson, & Co., merchants, and made a personal fortune. He worked for the repeal of the orders of council which, up to 1811, restricting British commerce with the USA, He became an abolitionist, active against slavery in the Caribbean. He also was concerned at poverty in Ireland, made a series of visits there, and established cotton-mills. He also became involved with the port of Liverpool. English pamphleteer, farmer, and member of parliament William Cobbett sought relentlessly through his commentaries and weekly Register to end the poverty of farm labourers and reform the policies of the borough-mongers, sinecurists and "tax-eaters." Although initially staunchly anti-Jacobin, by 1804 Cobbett began questioning the policies of the Pitt government, especially the immense national debt and the profligate use of sinecures that Cobbett believed was ruining the country and increasing class antagonism. Hi journal soon became the main newspaper read by the working class, making him highly controversial figure in early 19th century England.

Buch
Hand coloured engraved map. The map shows the extent 30° north and south of the Equator in which sugar is grown. Australia is still shown as New Holland. 29.8 cm x 23.7 cm (11¾" x 9¼"). Framed and glazed. Scarce colour-coded map concerning the sugar trade and its link to slavery. The section shaded yellow is the appropriate climate for the growing of sugar. The section shaded red is the area from which Britain may obtain sugar cheaply (parts of South America and the West Indies under British rule). The blue section shows where Britain is unable to obtain sugar due to the devastating effects of the slave trade. The pink and green areas are those from which the sugar trade is limited by high duties and restrictions. The argument is that the duties and restrictions are there to protect the slave trade and ultimately damage the British economy. James Cropper was a successful and wealthy Quaker merchant, philanthropist and disciple of Adam Smith. A major force in the anti-slavery movement, he believed that eliminating tariff protections would lead to the end of slave labour in the West Indies. Cropper himself had interests in East Indian sugar and therefore stood to benefit from the reduction of tariffs, which colored his role in the abolition movement. Nevertheless, 'in Cropper's mind the intensity of Quaker Quietism had fused with the economic optimism of Adam Smith. Anti-slavery confirmed this union, endowing laissez-faire with an immediate moral and spiritual purpose, and enriching his faith in the inevitability of human progress' (Davis, James Cropper and the British Anti-Slavery Movement, 1961).
