EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY
THURSDAY Next, May 20.
The most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORIGIS ES
EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny,
Captain Wheeler, and will be EXHIBITED, for the first time,
at the EGYPTIAN HALL, Piccadilly, on THURSDAY.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
Cr BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a Place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science
and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal
exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to
England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe
a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must
be excited by their appearance.
From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race
of human beings have been landed in our port ; they are the Bosjes-
mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so
mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
berder.ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 miles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al-
most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite
the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales
of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon
with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race
could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a
Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind
of exportation, viz., twe males and two females of the genuine Bush-
man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. It. Bishop, who has
been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the
interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra-
pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa.
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans,
see Professor Leichtenstein's, Barcheli's, Campbell's, Backhouse's,
Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.
