About This Book
An 18th-century sea narrative recounts voyages along West African and Atlantic coasts and through Brazilian and Caribbean ports, offering detailed descriptions of local environments, winds, tides, and navigational hazards, and of inhabitants' appearance, diets, languages, customs, and religions. It includes practical remarks on gold, ivory, and the slave trade, notes on prevailing diseases and climate, and an appended practical surgical manual addressing notable cases and treatment of venereal disease, with observations on remedies and public-health practices. The text mixes navigational guidance, ethnographic observation, and medical advice intended for mariners and readers considering travel.
