‘The writer has spent between eighteen and twenty years in the country. He has had
opportunity to visit every place of importance along the sea-coast, and has made
extended excursions in many of the maritime districts. He has studied and reduced to
writing two of the leading languages of the country, and has enjoyed, in these ways,
more than ordinary advantages for making himself acquainted with the actual condition
of the people. He claims for his book the merit of being a faithful and unpretending
record of Africain society’ (Preface).
