A propos de cet article

GAMBIA AND FORT JAMES REVESTED IN THE COMPANY OF MERCHANTS TRADING TO AFRICA. Folio (11.25 inches). 23 George III, Chapter 65. General title leaf + pages 1367-1372. Royal coat of arms, headpiece ornament, and factotum initial. Text in Black Letter. Neatly extracted from a bound volume. By the terms of the Treaty of Paris, 1783 (which officially ended the American Revolution) and the ancillary treaty between Great Britain and France (for their role in supporting the American cause), the Fort of Senegal was returned to France.

On that occasion, by means of the Gambia and African Trade Act, 1783 it was thought more beneficial to the African trade that the forts, settlements, and factories of the Port of Sallee Cape Rouge region, which had formerly been vested in the king, be revested in the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa.…
