This book presents information about the French administration of the Senegal River and its surrounding territories at the end of the eighteenth century. The author provides details of twenty nations of African people and their regions, and examines the commerce with French, English, and Portuguese traders. A variety of maps and plans of the area are included, and the author gives a detailed report on the gold and gum trade of the region. Exploring the challenges and opportunities of the area in detail, the author, a captain in the French military, argues for France to take a more assertive role in exploring and developing its African holdings. He believed that local rulers could be convinced to trade and cooperate with French interests. Though the book discusses events in the late eighteenth century, it remains a valuable text for understanding early European colonial interests on the continent of Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Il donne une description de la vie des indigènes et des établissements coloniaux en insistant sur les possibilités d'expansion pour la France. "Ce que l'auteur ne présente que comme un fragment de voyage et du séjour qu'il a fait au Sénégal et dans les contrées adjacentes, donne des notions très lumineuses sur un pays si intéressant par les productions qu'on en tire. Description de la Gambie, la Guinée-Bissau et la Sierra Leone, pour l'exploration des mines" (Boucher de la Richarderie IV, p. 115). Bon exemplaire.
