Abstract
An unpublished manuscript, kept in the Library of the Institut de France, concerning the French East and West India Company, gives numerical data about the French Atlantic slave trade, 1722- 1746. Compared with these figures, the estimates put forward by Pr Curtin in his recent The Atlantic Slave Trade. A Census, corne out quite satisfactorily, due to contrariwise errors. On the other hand, the statistical tables giving the exports of slaves geographically arranged are to be totally reckoned over again, once ail surviving journals by slave traders hâve been collected and turned to the best account.Keywords
