Savage Childhood

Savage Childhood Synopsis

Excerpt from Savage Childhood: A Study of Kafir Children

Bryant's zulu-english Dictionary appeared Shortly after the manuscript of the present volume was finished. It was, however, possible to insert a few facts taken from that work before finally going to press. All such borrowings are acknowledged in the text. The appearance of that excellent dictionary gives me the more confidence in publishing my own observations, for it corroborates so many statements I have made. In fact, it might easily be thought that I had borrowed extensively from Mr. Bryant, were it not known that my account had been written before his work appeared.

In addition to much help received from English and American works on the subject of Child-study.
