Nathaniel Uring was a merchant who worked between Africa and the Americas in the early eighteenth century. The extent of his involvement in the transatlantic slave trade is unknown but this work makes reference to his purchasing enslaved women on the Angolan coast. His publications are useful for the early colonial history of Saint Vincent and Saint Lucia and the charting of the Caribbean Sea.
Provenance
