| Meer info | “With Notices of the so called "Amazons", the Grand Customs, the Yearly Customs, the Human Sacrifices, the Present State of the Slave Trade, and the Negro's Place in Nature” “In 1863 Burton led a mission to Dahomey, traditional enemies of the Egba at Abeokuta. The object was to order the cessation of slave raiding and human sacrifice. King Gele was unmoved, although the early signs were good when Burton presented the king with pictures of three naked women. Diplomatic failure did not prevent Burton from amassing a wealth of detail presented in this work.” |
