Notes

Selected documents from the papers collected by John Holt (1743-1801) and his friend, Matthew Gregson (1749-1824), relating to the history of Liverpool from the Middle Ages, with special emphasis on period from the late 18th to the early 19th century. The American related materials fall into four main categories: a) the African slave trade; b) British trade with the Americas, chiefly the United States; c) privateering during the American War of Independence (1776-1783); and d) statistics and other accounts relating to international trade with America.
The reel starts with an introduction by Dr. P.J. Buckland, University of Liverpool.
This collection (942 HOL) is held at the Liverpool Record Office and Local History Service.
