the long version

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.
