This 24-page pamphlet, published in Amsterdam in 1863, contains two ordinances related to the transition from slavery to a system of indentured servitude in Suriname following the abolition of slavery in 1863. The first ordinance addresses the control of the introduction of free laborers. The second ordinance details the government's offer of premiums to incentivize the recruitment of these laborers. While printed in Amsterdam, the text is in English. This pamphlet provides valuable insight into the complex socio-economic dynamics of post-emancipation Suriname.
