Title: A Voyage to Senegal ; Or, Historical, Philosophical, and Political Memoirs, Relative to the ..
First published: 1806
Description: Durand was briefly in charge of the Senegal
Company in Africa. There are two original French editions: in each case the final
volume (of good maps and plates) is quarto, but the preceding text may be printed
in either one quarto or two octavo volumes. In the latter case, Volume 1 covers the
coast to as far as Sierra Leone with appreciable borrowings from such as 1685
LABAT, 1764 DEMANET, 1783 SAUGNIER, and 1785 BRISSON, while Volume 2
deals with kingdoms in the interior and is based more on his own experience, e.g.,
in the gum trade. The English edition is in one volume and has a useful index.
