Indeed, the merchants, trading to Guinea, never neglected to inform the Colonial Office con- cerning the treasures of the Coast, and they must have earned ample profits, for they were willing to make sacri- fices whenever it was wanted. Repeatedly Mr. Forster maintained in the eighteen twen- ties that the Gold Coast from a commercial point of view was the most valuable of the British possessions on the Western Coast of Africa, and in the middle of the century Earl Grey says : "By far the most i...mportant of the Bri- tish possessions held chiefly for commercial objects are those on the coast of Africa ". The abandonment of the forts was accompanied by great lamenting on the part of merchants, and when the govern- ment was going to give up the last places, they planned how to retaiu the possessions on their own responsibility, and for several years (1828-43) they took over the adminis- tration with Maclean as governor. As related above their interests caused exchange of diplomatic notes with Den- mark, and most of these documents show distinctly that XLVII their main desire was that no war or unrest or inter- ference should hamper the English trade, especially the export of palm oil.
