Présentation de l'éditeur
Equatorial A frica, especially by Mbudikum people, with whom I have conversed at Old Calabar. While this little work does not pretend to topographical accuracy especially in countries that are only known to us by native reports yet, to speak colloquially, it is not all humbug. Many of the incidents herein related I have actually witnessed during some one of my journeys in A frica. The places and peoples I have named are of real existence, as are also the languages quoted, though some of them, as in the case of theM budikum tongue, probably appear in print for the first time. Were it not for the time and care which I have spent on the forty-seven illustrations of this booklet, I should consider even the few foregoing remarks superfluous ;but, for the sake of these drawings, I would ask the reader to treat me somewhat seriously.
