First printing of the second Danish decree to abolish the slave trade. Denmark was the first souvereign state in the world to abandon the slave trade by a decree issued in 1792. This did not mean, that the trade was hereby stopped. When France and England in 1831 and 1833 in conventions banned the trade, the Danish king Frederik VI issued this decree of 1835 to support these conventions. The decree of 1835 contains a detailed Criminal Law for transport of slaves over the Atlantic.The decree was issued in two forms at the same time, one with only Danish text and one with Danish and German paralelltext (the version offered).
