Britain's convicts to the colonies

A study of the transportation of English convicts during the period 1763-1793 including transportation to North America, West Africa and New South Wales. The work is based on the author's thesis submitted to London University in 1933 and concerns the administration of the system rather than transportation as a means of colonization. Includes statistics, details of the process of transportation and the use of prison hulks. Appendices also cover the transportation of Irish and Scottish convicts. References, an index and bibliography are also provided.
