About This Book
Bosman's book is the classic late seventeenth century description of the coast and
society of Lower Guinea based on experience over some 14 years. It is written in
the form of letters. 17 of which are on the Gold Coast and 3 on the Slave Coast,
which Bosman also knew at first-hand. To these are added a letter on Benin by
Jacob van Nyendael and another on the Grain and Ivory Coasts by Jan Snoek; the
latter owes a good deal to 1666 VILLAULT. The 1967 facsimile of the Eng.
translation is annotated. and there is an illuminating line-by-line comparison of
this translation with the original Dutch by Albert van DANTZIG in volumes of HA
2 (1975) to 11 (1984).
