Extract
This short contribution to the pages of the Journal of the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures will later form a part of my main theme in the preface of a volume which has not yet been published. I hope it may be of sufficient interest to readers of this journal to warrant its appearance in advance, in a setting where it is divorced somewhat from its ultimate context. The plea which it contains is of such importance that I gladly welcome any publicity which may be given to it by its publication in a journal having an international circulation.
