Memoir on the Necessity of Abolishing the Introduction of African Slaves into Brazil
João Severiano Maciel da Costa, Marquês de Queluz (1769–1833)
In preparation · announced for 2027
Written for the Côrtes in 1821 — twenty-nine years before the trade fell, sixty-seven before the Golden Law — a statesman’s political economy of abolition: why the trade must end, by what means, and at what cost in labour. The opening document of the Press’s abolition arc, issued with apparatus on what its gradualism chose not to see.
