Abstract:The systematic attempt made to unveil the hinterland of the African West coast to the world was not begun until 1788 when the Association for the promotion of the discovery of the interior parts of Africa was inaugurated. This contribution gives an answer to the questions: What was the Association?; Why was it formed at the time it was?; Why did the exploration of the interior of West Africa begin in 1788? References.
