Качество страниц: хорошее.This essay purports to be a mere "Preliminary Study" on the Origin of the Bantu. Though I flatter myself that I have found the keys which will unlock most of the safes containing the secrets of Bantu philology, and of the institutions, customs, and religious ideas of that widespread race, yet the great task remains to fit these keys, and as safe after safe is opened, to spread the treasures before the scientific world, as well as before the general public.
