A rare survival of a trilingual eighteenth-century edict providing information on prices for various legal and notarial duties on the Swedish colony of Saint Barthélemy.
An island in the West Indies, Saint Barthélemy was traded by the French to Sweden in 1784 in return for trading privileges in Gothenburg. The colony flourished, primarily due to the establishment of the Swedish West India Company, operator of the Swedish slave trade and primary source of island revenue.
