1816 (Organizational Structure of the Papers): The Haytian Papers are structured to lead the reader from early republican registers to the “Manifesto of the King” and reflections on the “Abolition of the Slave Trade”. The “Editor’s Address” provides the initial justification for the work, followed by official proclamations and constitutional laws. Subsequent sections include “Reflections of the Editor” and extracts from the “Royal Gazette of Hayti”. This comprehensive layout was designed by Sanders to provide a “more obviously evince” the state of the kingdom to a British audience. The volume concludes with considerations on the global movement toward ending the slave trade.
