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.

Great Quality & Value – My Everyday Essential
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
I use these cotton rounds every single day, and they’ve become a staple in my skincare routine. They’re soft, gentle on the skin, and work perfectly for removing makeup or applying toner. The quality is excellent—they hold together well and don’t fall apart during use. For the amount you get, the price is really hard to beat, making them a great value for everyday use. I’ve been very happy with these and will continue to repurchase. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, affordable cotton rounds!They’re gentle enough for sensitive skin and work great for all my skincare steps.

Last a while
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
Work well and have lasted me more than six months. They do get pulled apart easily so sometimes wiping your face leaves the cotton fuzzies

Soft, Durable, and So Much Better Than Cotton Balls
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton pads have been such a simple but huge upgrade to my routine. For years I used regular cotton balls or even toilet paper for skincare and makeup removal, so I wasn’t expecting these to make that much of a difference. After seeing them on Amazon, I decided to give them a try, and now I don’t want to go back. They are incredibly soft and gentle on my skin, especially around my eyes. I mainly use them for applying toner and removing eye makeup, and they work perfectly for both. They don’t fall apart, leave lint behind, or soak up tons of product like regular cotton balls do. The size is perfect too — large enough to be useful without wasting product. One thing that really surprised me is how well they work for removing nail polish. I can usually remove polish from all ten nails with just one cotton pad, which definitely helps them last longer. Overall, these feel much more high quality than standard cotton balls, and they’ve made my skincare routine easier and less messy.
