The second half of the work deals primarily in describing the ravages of the slave trade on the country and it people: "It is without a doubt that the abolition of the slave trade will completely change the face of the region devastated for centuries by ceaseless warfare crippled by the enslavement of portions of its peoples and depopulated by this horrific commerce conducted by degraded persons and greedy European merchants who can only satisfy their avarice at the price of the blood and freedom of these miserable Africans" our translation; pp. 48-9. Pelletan also dedicates brief sections to the moral and physical attributes of the Senegalese inhabitants as well as a description of their homes and pottery before proposing a detailed outline for a newm post-slave trade colonial government for the region.
