A new account of Guinea, and the slave-trade

The narrative combines eye‑witness travel reportage, military history, and commercial observation: it recounts a West African kingdom's recent conquest and the author's visit to the conqueror's camp where he witnessed captive sacrifices; explains how captives are taken and prepared for the Atlantic slave trade, estimates export practices and shipboard management including mutinies, argues about the trade's legality, and relates the author's capture by pirates and other maritime hazards. Interspersed are coastal descriptions, notes on local customs, and a contemporary map intended to inform merchants and seafarers.
