(1er éd. 1844).

Notes on the various nations of Northern and Central Africa, with vocabularies of their languages and dialects.

The information contained in the following pages, is the result of my personal intercourse with the natives of Africa. During my official residence at Algiers, I had opportunities of conversing with persons, from the various countries which I have briefly attempted to describe. What I have related, was repeatedly confirmed by successive inquiries. The facts recorded may, therefore, be deemed as near an approximation to truth, as the circumstances of the case would allow. There was no other mode, at least, of obtaining information so important to science ; as no European has yet visited that region of Africa, which lies immediately south of Algiers. With the hope, that these notes may afford some additional light upon the history of Africa, and that interesting portion of the human race, they are now published. (L'Auteur).
