pp 186 a-d n.d. Lord Northampton to Buxton, thanking him for his second book, observing that he had completely made a case for Britain being able to do something to suppress the trade though he feared there would remain within Africa itself an internal slave trade between the rulers and a form of West Indian slavery where sugar was cultivated, in the new French settlement of Algeria and the Portuguese settlements. He suggests that not only Fernando Po should be declared neutral but that other places of settlement along that coast should be included and that the reoccupation and cultivation of Bulama [?Cameroons] should be one of the first steps in their project. In a postscript he expresses his earlier annoyance that a certain Bill had been defeated in the House of Lords, but he thought that the carrying of the second Bill in spite of the opposition of the Duke of Wellington was proof that Parliament was in earnest.
