Apart from its narrative interest, the edition thus provides a starting point for the critical assessment of a range of early sources on Guinea. The edition opens with an introductory essay discussing Barbot's life and career and analysing his sources. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1991.

Barbot was a commercial agent on French slave-trading voyages to West Africa. His account of the Guinea coast was based partly on his journals and partly on previous printed sources; it had considerable influence on later Europeanattitudes to Black Africa and the Atlantic slave trade, and is frequently cited as evidence on both subjects.
