    A compilation from the works of Robert Norris, whose personal knowledge of the Guinea coast appears to have reached back at least as far as 1755. The map is by Robert Norris and the account of his journey to the Court of Bossa Ahadee, King of Dahomey, in 1772 is included. Norris was well received and gives a ful account of the country and its customs. Dalzel adds material from other authors and includes an Introduction by himself. He was the Governor of the British Fort at Whydah during 1767 - 1770. “...despite his pro-slave trade bias, and despite the fact that modern research can fault him on points of detail, [Dalzel] is no mean historian of eighteenth century Dahomey and its neighbours. His History of Dahomey deservedly served as a standard source for many other distinguished writers on Dahomey, including Sir Richard Burton and Professor Melville Herskovits. It can still be studied with profit, and read with pleasure for its nineteenth century prose.” - from J. D. Fage’s introduction the the 1967 reprint. The spine has been carefully rebacked, lettered and tooled in a contemporary style, occasional slight spotting on the plates, the text unusually clean with no offsetting, contemporary bookplate of Thomas Dawson, later bookplate of Edward Geoffrey Sergeant; an excellent copy.
