In 1660 the English government chartered the Company of Royal Adventurers Trading to Africa which, in 1663, was granted a monopoly in the slave trade. The Company collapsed
in 1667 but from the ashes emerged the Royal African Company. Founded in 1672 it too
was granted a monopoly in the slave trade but rival English merchants were unhappy with this situation and in 1698 Parliament yielded to their complaints and opened the trade to all. Other seafaring nations, however, were equally anxious to reap the benefits of this lucrative trade and it was in order to maintain the castles and forts of the Royal African Company as
a defence against any such threat that the above act required all vessels trading from England or the American Colonies to the coast of Africa between Capoe Blancho and Cape Mount to pay duty of 10% of their cargo value towards their upkeep. It was the restrictive nature of such acts which encouraged Scottish merchants to seek, in the establishment of a Scottish colony at Darien, a new market overseas.

According to Alexander Mackenzie, author of ‘Life of Flora MacDonald’, this ‘autobiography’ by John MacDonald’s daughter is “admittedly two parts fiction; and the general reader is quite unable to separate the fiction from the facts.” Less charitable commentators have dismissed it as a “foolish forgery” but a second edition appeared in
1872 which, if nothing else, testifies to the enduring appeal of its subject.

Barclay (1582-1621) was born at Pont-à-Mousson where his father, a graduate of Aberdeen University, was professor of civil law. The Argenis, finished just two weeks prior to his death, possibly by poisoning, is a denunciation of political factions and conspiracies, and attempts to show how they might be repressed. It is said to have been one of Richelieu’s favourite works since he found in it many of the expedients to which he himself resorted.
