First Swedish edition of Memoirs of the Reign of Bossa Ahadee, King of Dahomey … to which are added, the author’s journey to Abomey the capital and a short account of the African slave trade. This edition is considerably abridged but is noteworthy for the scholarly annotations of Samuel Oedmann, who had in turn translated it from a German translation by J.R. Forster. Not in BMC.
