Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ashanti Proverbs (the Primitive Ethics of a Savage People): Translated From the Original With Grammatical and Anthropological Notes
IN preparing this volume, to which he has asked me to contribute a preface, Mr. Rattray has performed a consider able service to those of us who are interested in the Tshi speaking people of the Gold Coast, or who are concerned in the administration of their affairs. He has blazed for us a track through a wilderness which has so far been very imperfectly explored, and has thereby opened the way to further discoveries.
