Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Bantu and Semi-Bantu Languages
I also desire to tender my thanks to the British South Africa Co'mpany, Chartered and Limited, for the efforts made by its London Direction and its employés in South central Africa to record hitherto quite unknown languages for the purpose Of this book' and to the French Government and His Majesty's former Ambassador in Paris, Viscount Bertie of Thame for the facilities accorded to me in 1915 to visit the camps and hospitals of the Senegalese soldiers in France; This assemblage of negroes from all parts of French West and West-central Africa was a singularly fortunate circumstance, inasmuch as it enabled me not only to get an increased acquaintance with the semi-bantu languages, but at the same time to check the accuracy Of Sigismund Koelle's invaluable vocabularies which were transcribed sixty to seventy years ago at Sierra Leone, from freed slaves arriving there from all parts Of West and Central Africa.
I hope circumstances may permit of this study Of the Bantu and semi-bantu languages being published in its entirety while I am still able to correct the proofs, and while most of my numerous helpers are alive to appreciate the results of their collaboration.
