DEMANET, Abbé. Nouvelle histoire de l'Afrique françoise, enrichie de cartes et d'observations astronomiques et géographiques, de remarques sur les usages locaux, les moeurs, la religion & la nature du commerce général de cette partie du monde; Avec la Description des productions, & la position des fleuves & rivieres qui servent à la Navigation & au Commerce de l'Afrique: leur sondes, leurs distances respectives & les routes qu'il faut tenir pour y naviguer: les chemins nouveaux & directs pour les mines d'or & pour l'intérieur de l'Afrique: la Description des Forêts qui produisent la Gomme: les moyens de rendre l'Afrique une portion précieuse à l'Etat & à la Religion: enfin une Dissertation Physique & Historique sur l'origine des Négres, & la cause de leur couleur, avec l'exposition & la réfutation des systêmes anciens & modernes sur cette matiere. Paris: la veuve Duchesne, Lacombe. 1767.

Two volumes, 8vo. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spines with raised bands and contrasting lettering-pieces (one missing), as well as ornamented in gilt; pp. [8], xxx, [2], 142 [recte 266]; [viii], 352, [4], three engraved folding maps; complete with errata leaf and half-titles; minimal wear to binding, offsetting from endpapers; otherwise very good; Lord Sandys' contemporary engraved armorial bookplates.

First edition, scarce. Demanet describes the immense profit that can be made by the slave trade in French West Africa, the possibility of more lucrative rubber plantations, mainly in Senegal, the Gambia and the adjacent regions. In volume one Demanet explores the different societies and tribes and the economic potential, whereas volume two contains a discussion why Africans are dark-skinned, the origin of the African 'race' and their relation with Arabs, who changed their colour 'proportionellement au climat' (p. 264). Demanet ridicules an earlier theory that links skin colour to properties of drinking water found in different parts of the world.

Beautiful and Useful
My Cloudmusic tote is ready to walk out the door! Holds couple bottles of wine, plates, cutlery, plastic glasses, salt and pepper, cutting board/knife, bottle opener, cute towel, napkins, bag of essential fruit, hand wash, sanitized wipes, ummmm what else should I take. Perfect for travel. It's first trip will be a girls trip of antique shops, museum and wonderful restaurants at a darling little AB&B house.

Absolutely the best toe I've ever owned
There are plenty of pockets and even when it's full it's light weight - I don't know how it does it but I am not burdened down when I have it filled with my thing including a laptop! You now hoe family members ask "Can you put this in y our purse?" Well there are plenty of pockets - nothing will get lost in the bottom of your purse ever again.

Great bag – very durable
Color: Colourful Flowers in Black
Bought this to replace an existing computer bag that I use for college. I typically hold a lot of stuff and my bags become heavy. This bag holds up! Carries a lot of stuff, including my standard laptop, a few books, etc. It also has a zipper area to put things I need to find easily. Style and design also very cute. Honestly, a great bargain.

love the colors
Color: Blue Flowers
I love the colors on this bag, and the size is big enough for me to put my normal purse stuff in plus pack my lunch in it, and there are 2 drink holders on the ends. It seems made from waterproof material. Although I thought it was canvas when I ordered, and I thought it had a padded computer pocket. That isn't true. But I was looking at so many tote bags, I may have gotten them confused in my head. But it seems really well made and there is plenty of room in the bag if you have a padded computer sleeve for your laptop and then place it in the bag.
