Commodore Matthew C. Perry / Sec. of Navy J.Y. Mas･･･

This document transmits official correspondence of Commodore Matthew C. Perry while commanding the U.S. Naval Forces on the African coast, prior to his famous expedition to Japan. It details operations to suppress the slave trade, protect American settlements in Liberia, punitive expeditions following the murder of the captain of the *Edward Burley*, negotiations (“palavers”) with tribal kings, and conditions within the colony. The work has been professionally rebound in a modern hardcover with marbled boards, faux-leather spine, and bright gilt title. The original 1844 text block shows moderate to heavy foxing but remains clear and complete. A significant primary source for U.S. naval, African Squadron, and anti-slavery history.
