''An Account of the Gold Coast of Africa: With a Brief History of the African Company'' is a historical book written by Henry Meredith. The book provides a comprehensive description of the Gold Coast of Africa, which is now known as Ghana. It covers the geography, economy, and culture of the region, as well as the history of the African Company, which was a British trading company that operated in West Africa during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Gold Coast. The first chapter provides an overview of the region’s geography and climate, while the second chapter discusses the indigenous people and their customs. The third chapter delves into the history of European exploration and colonization of the region, including the role of the African Company in the slave trade. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the various forts and trading posts that were established along the coast, as well as the different commodities that were traded, such as gold, ivory, and slaves. Additionally, the author provides insights into the political and social dynamics of the region, including the conflicts between different ethnic groups and the impact of European colonialism.Overall, ''An Account of the Gold Coast of Africa: With a Brief History of the African Company'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of West Africa, the slave trade, and the impact of European colonialism on the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
