APPENDIX. 
entered into with other great powers, to endeavour entirely to put 
a stop to the exportation of Slaves, from the dominions of every 
African Chief, and that the Chief and his subjects will, when 
perhaps too late, see cause to regret their conduct. 
21. In those cases, in which all your arguments and repre- 
sentations failing, you will have been obliged to leave the Chief 
and his country without accomplishing the immediate objects of 
your mission, you will be careful still, even at parting, to leave 
that chief and his country, in a friendly manner, in order to give 
room for future overtures, and for a reconsideration of the 
kindly meant efforts of Her Majesty ; and you will, if time and 
circumstances allow it, take an opportunity of visiting again 
those Chiefs who, in your first visit declined your overtures, and 
strengthened by the w'eight which your success elsewhere may

permit, you will stay to be witness of the immediate effects of the 
proceeding.

ment, which is to be proposed to the African Chiefs, under the 
head of Additional terms for Special Cases. 
These additional terms are not to be proposed to the African 
Chiefs generally, but to those Chiefs only to whom you may 
deem it especially expedient or desirable to submit such stipu- 
lations for their acceptance ; and in no case are those additional 
terms, whether they shall be agreed to, wholly, or in part, to be 
inserted in the body of the agreement, but to be added to it 
as separate articles. 
24. The first stipulation is for abolishing human sacrifices. 
Her Majesty's Government are anxious as a general principle, 
that you should show that your Government and yourselves 
respect the laws and usages and habits of the people you are
