Hebrewisms of West Africa: From Nile to Niger with the Jews

Abstract

writing of luxurious scenery. He describes the kraaling of elephants and revels in the past history of Kings and Princesses with exceedingly long names. He gives qs some real information about the gem industry and all the frauds behind it. One would have liked to see a little more space given to the Ceylon planter with his pluckers, his Kangannies, and his labour troubles. One is inclined to regret the omission, for the planter's life has much of that particular colour which Mr. Ashley Gibson seems to employ with such remarkable effect. The library of books on Ceylon is not extensive and we welcome this volume as a valuable and agreeable acquisition. H. P. W.
