The History of Dahomy: An Inland Kingdom of Africa (1793) is a historical account of the West African kingdom of Dahomey, written by Archibald Dalzel. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and cultural aspects of the kingdom, including its origins, customs, religious practices, and economy. Dalzel draws upon his personal experiences as a British merchant in the region, as well as the accounts of other European travelers and missionaries. He describes the Dahomey people as a fierce and warlike tribe, known for their military prowess and the practice of human sacrifice. The book also provides insights into the complex political structure of the kingdom, including the role of the monarch and the various officials who governed the state. Dalzel discusses the kingdom's trade relations with Europe and other African states, as well as the impact of the slave trade on Dahomey's economy and society. Overall, The History of Dahomy offers a valuable perspective on the history of West Africa, and provides a detailed account of one of its most fascinating and unique kingdoms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
