Book Description
Excerpt from The Foulahs of Central Africa, and the African Slave Trade They extend from the Atlantic ocean, from the mouth of the Senegal and Senegambia on the west, to the kingdoms ofbornou and Mandara on the east; from the desert of Sahara on the north, to the moun tains of Guinea or Kong, on the south. Sthis wide superficies contains more than square miles, which is equal to the fourth part of Europe, and a tenth part of the immense continent of Africa. Compared with the United States, these parallels of longitude, would extend from Maine to Missouri. What may be the Foulah population spread over this region, it is impossible to approxi mate. But the low estimate of three inhabitants to the square mile, would give a population of two millions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
