The State of our Present Ethnographical Knowledge of the Gold Coast Peoples
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 August 2012
Extract
The publication of this journal must undoubtedly mark an epoch of importance in the history of the relationship between Africans and Europeans. It is therefore surely not amiss to survey our ethnographical knowledge and acquaintance with the African people. But such a survey could hardly be compassed within the confines of a single article. Possibly, however, one small portion of that vast continent might so be surveyed; and of all such small portions perhaps none offers better scope than the Gold Coast.
