Zusammenfassung: | THE authors of the three books under notice approach their subjects from three entirely different points of view. Mr. Ajisafe is a Yoruba native who puts forward a treatise upon the laws and customs of his own people: Canon Roscoe and Mr. Norden write as foreigners visiting Africa, but, again, their points of view differ. Canon Roscoe is a trained ethnologist; his expedition was organised for the purpose of obtaining information useful to anthropological science. Mr. Norden writes as a tourist, relating the experiences of a pleasure trip in Kenya and Uganda.
