Need help with research

[Ian]

Pertinax,

I performed a web search for the first few words of your article, "Brittany voyage iron," which seemed an unusual phrase and one that might be successful in finding this text. while I did not find an exact match, it did yield a recent article by Evans and Ryden (2018) that describes "voyage iron" and its use as currency in Africa. The involvement of the Province of Brittany is described by them: "Jean Barbot spoke of the ‘Province of Brittany’ as the source of the iron exported by the Compagnie du Senegal in the 1690s (ref. 28)"

The reference they cite (ref. 28) is Awnsham Churchill, A Collection of Voyages and Travels, 6 vols. (London, 1732), Volume 1, pp. 44–45. The page numbers do not match your example, however the Evans and Ryden article is a recent summary of "voyage iron" and it may provide the reference that you are looking for. I have attached a PDF file of their article which was a freely available download. Hope this helps.

Regards, Ian
