The Languages of West Africa.

£250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A very good copy of the Colonial Civil servant’s “linguistic survey of West Africa” (Preface). The author necessarily makes several generalisations on the grammatical structures of the thirty three languages studied, though pays specific attention to the Hausa language.
