For the early history of this company, see K.G. Davies, The Royal African Company, London, 1957, pp. 390. This barely goes beyond 1700, by which time the company had already passed into that condition of commercial paralysis in which it was to linger until 1750. Various references to Cape Coast Castle. Constant references to T70 - Public Record Office Treasury records (Expired Commissions), Records of African Companies.
