DEMANET, Abbé. Nouvelle histoire de l'Afrique françoise, enrichie de cartes et d'observations astronomiques et géographiques, de remarques sur les usages locaux, les moeurs, la religion & la nature du commerce général de cette partie du monde; Avec la Description des productions, & la position des fleuves & rivieres qui servent à la Navigation & au Commerce de l'Afrique: leur sondes, leurs distances respectives & les routes qu'il faut tenir pour y naviguer: les chemins nouveaux & directs pour les mines d'or & pour l'intérieur de l'Afrique: la Description des Forêts qui produisent la Gomme: les moyens de rendre l'Afrique une portion précieuse à l'Etat & à la Religion: enfin une Dissertation Physique & Historique sur l'origine des Négres, & la cause de leur couleur, avec l'exposition & la réfutation des systêmes anciens & modernes sur cette matiere. Paris: la veuve Duchesne, Lacombe. 1767.

Two volumes, 8vo. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spines with raised bands and contrasting lettering-pieces (one missing), as well as ornamented in gilt; pp. [8], xxx, [2], 142 [recte 266]; [viii], 352, [4], three engraved folding maps; complete with errata leaf and half-titles; minimal wear to binding, offsetting from endpapers; otherwise very good; Lord Sandys' contemporary engraved armorial bookplates.

First edition, scarce. Demanet describes the immense profit that can be made by the slave trade in French West Africa, the possibility of more lucrative rubber plantations, mainly in Senegal, the Gambia and the adjacent regions. In volume one Demanet explores the different societies and tribes and the economic potential, whereas volume two contains a discussion why Africans are dark-skinned, the origin of the African 'race' and their relation with Arabs, who changed their colour 'proportionellement au climat' (p. 264). Demanet ridicules an earlier theory that links skin colour to properties of drinking water found in different parts of the world.

Base part of it
Color: Black
Even though I kept this it’s very uncomfortable because of the way the base works . They are very long at the bottom and it’s hard to open and close

Great room separator
Color: Black
The panels are much longer than we expected! We only needed 3 of the 4 proivided. It's slightly flimsy, but holds together nicely. The screwdriver that came with did not fit the screws, but luckily we had a Phillips head. It's very lightweight. It is definitely a good value for the money.

Room divider
Color: Black, Color: Black
It was much simpler than anticipated. I don't think it's very sturdy and it lacks weight, but it's attractive.
