First published 1973. Has origins in Peter C Hogg, 'A Classified Bibliography of Books, Pamphlets and Periodical Articles on the African Slave Trade and Its Suppression', Library Association Dissertation, 1970. Does not appear to have been revised since 1973 and therefore misses the high volume of recent literature. A comprehensive and very detailed work dealing with UK publications and those published in other countries from at least 17th century.
