Summary: "Considerations on the Present Peace, as far as it is relative to the colonies, and the African trade" is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. The text critically examines the impact of British colonial policies on trade, particularly focusing on the African slave trade and its implications for the prosperity of British colonies. The book appears to be a persuasive appeal for reform in trade practices, aiming to secure the interests of British planters and merchants in the context of post-war negotiations. The opening of the work initiates a discussion on the recently concluded peace negotiations and the perceived shortcomings in the terms that were established. The editors, who boldly claim no authorship but rather a commitment to public service, articulate their concerns regarding the management of the African trade and the high costs associated with acquiring slaves, which they argue has been detrimental to colonial agriculture. They emphasize the urgency of legislative action to rectify the situation and advocate for the protection of British commercial interests against rival nations, particularly the French, in managing trade routes and fortifications in Africa to ensure a steady supply of slaves to the colonies, thereby sustaining their economies.
