First sentence: THE purpose of this treatise is to give some account of the religious beliefs and practices of the West African negroes, particularly as exhibited by the tribes of the Yoruba country in Southern Nigeria, contributing somewhat to the study of the History of Religion, and also, while recognising the elements of truth already possessed by the said people, justifying the propagation of Christianity among them.
