Item description from seller

REMARKS ON THE COUNTRY EXTENDING FROM CAPE PALMAS TO THE RIVER CONGO. Captain John Adams. Frank Cass & Co Ltd, London. 1966 First Thus. 266pp plus folding map. Hardback. This copy is bound in publisher's original green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to a black panel on the spine which is sunned. There is a gilt device to the upper board. The text block is in unmarked condition bright, white, tight and square. A dust wrapper is not called for. This account originally published in 1823 describes the people, flora and fauna of the West African coast between Cape Palmas to the River Congo 'including observations on the manners and customs of the inhabitants' There are references to the principal trade that included the export of slaves. The Cass Library of African Studies began publishing important books of Africana interest in 1960. Most of these had originally been published in the nineteenth century and had been mouldering away in reference libraries and publisher’s files such as John Murray and were long out of print. Although facsimile editions the standard of reproduction was of such quality that the books served a new emerging market especially in the United States where President Kennedy had ruled that black studies had to be taught at every American university.
