Excerpt from Lenje Handbook: A Short Introduction to the Lenje Dialect Spoken in North-West RhodesiaFull and grateful acknowledgement is due to the Rev. Father Torrend, not only for the advantage of such common property of all students of Bantu as his Comparative Grammar already mentioned, but also for personal advice and encourage ment, access to his stores of phonographic records and his transcriptions of them, and permission to make use 01 his labours. But it must be clearly understood that he is in no way responsible for the form of the present work, especially as regards spelling, nomenclature, and arrangement, or for the treatment of his materials in the vocabulary or elsewhere. The compiler's obligations to Mr. Smith's Handbook of Ila must also be here expressed, its detailed study of the verb and general completeness making it specially valuable for purposes of comparison.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
