Papers of Sir Graham Eden Hamond, 1832-1836 (bulk 1835-1836).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49361660

The papers contain letters and dispatches to Rear Admiral Hamond, commander-in-chief of the South American station, regarding the British efforts to abolish the Brazilian slave trade. Many letters from diplomats H.L. Fox and Robert Hesbeth at Rio de Janeiro concern a sinking slave ship rescued by the British and forced to land in Brazil. Letters and copies from the British Admiralty Office, Lord Palmerston and the Foreign Office, and Consul-general Thomas S. Hood at Montvideo discuss diplomatic negotiations to end the trade including a treaty with Spain, resolutions by the Uruguayan legislature, French warrants, the jurisdiction of the Court of the Mixed Commission for the Prevention of the Slave Trade and the legality of British intercession where no treaties were signed. The papers also contain observations by surgeon Robert Stevenson on the treatment of rescued slaves; detailed notes on the trade in Bahia by Sir William Gore Ouseley, British envoy to Brazil; a report on the trade at Perambuco by Edward Watts, British consul; and extracts of letters from and to Rear Admiral Sir Patrick Campbell regarding efforts to intercept the trade on the African coast. A printed copy of a treaty with Spain is included.
