Subtitle: being an enquiry, how far it concerns the trading interest of Great Britain, effectually to support and maintain the forts and settlements in Africa; belonging to the Royal African Company of England: shewing also what support and encouragement the Dutch and the French give to their respective African companies; and that nothing less than 38,000 l. per annum, granted by Parliament to the the present company, for a term of years certain can enable them to support a competition with our rivals in that trade: with a proposition to render the interest of private traders, and that of the company naturally beneficial to each other. With a new and correct map of the coast of Africa, and all the European settlements. Humbly inscribed to the Rt. Honbe. Henry Pelham, Esq; first Lord Commissioner of His Majesty's treasury, and chancellor of the Exchequer..
