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.

Decent
Size: 10FT, Color: White
Would of gave a 5 star rating but in terms of quality it’s decent as far as advertisement of it being 10ft is a lie I still had one of my original apple 10ft cable and these are technically 8-8.5ft. So far both boxes and cables still functional and working 5 months later better than most chargers you will buy at a gas station, that will only last about 2-3 months.

Favorite charger
Size: 10FT, Color: Yellow
This is my 3rd purchase of this brand of charger (different colors). The yellow color is just as pictured. These chargers always fit flawlessly with my iphone15 pro. The charger provides a fast and lasting charge for my phone, iPad, or anything else I connect it to. I love the bright color options. I highly recommend this charger because they are durable and provide a quick, long lasting charge.

Perfect charger
Size: 10FT, Color: White
Very impressed with how quickly the charger works. The longer cable has made it easier to use the phone while charging and sitting on the couch. No issues with the cable getting tangled or fraying like I have had with others, or pinching and breaking the connection.

Life changing little screen
Size: 15.6" 1080P, Size: 15.6" 1080P
I was losing my mind trying to work from home off a single laptop screen. Secondary displays were not connecting to my computer outside of the office, IT could not figure out the issue so I was doomed to single screen anytime I worked from home. A co-worker suggested I take a look at this style of screen. I had my doubts that it would work with my lap top, and lo and behold I am back in action with a dual display. It comes with an HDMI cord option and a USB-C cord option (you do not need to buy separate cords, they are included). I used the USB-C as it also acts as a power cord to power the display. It took two seconds to hook up, and with one setting change on my lap top the display successfully extended (does not just duplicate your display, it will allow display extension as well). The image quality is more than sufficient for work (no opinion on PC gaming) and settings such as brightness were easy to adjust. It's the perfect size for use with my lap top screen, and they had plenty of additional size options. The built in stand allows two screen angles, and acts as a cover when not in use. For the price this thing is absolutely clutch, don't waste money on expensive displays - you can use this with any USB-C capable device so it can travel with you for work or fun. I will be interested to see if it has longevity, but for now I'd give this thing 10 stars if I could.

Great product for a great price
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I REALLY like this. I need 2 screens to do my job efficiently and have struggled lately when traveling. Splurged on this for myself and was really impressed. It’s nice and lightweight but feels sturdy. The image quality is good. The set up could not be easier. This is a game changer for me.
