8vo; original red cloth, lettered in silver gilt on spine; dustwrapper; pp. (iv) + xli + (i) + 776; line illustrations. A little wear to the dustwrapper, lettering flaking on the cloth spine, minor foxing on the edges of the text block. Very good condition. (Murphy & Goff 536 [1st edition]) "In this work Dr. Abraham has brought…to fruition the comprehensive study of Yoruba which he began when he came to Ibadan, on his own initiative, in 1952. In our bureaucratized world, this was an act of bravery, for most of us can hardly imagine going to a place like West Africa unless we have been sent or brought by some institution. He found financial support from various sources. The work took three and a half years, and the author prepared the master-sheets of the typescript himself, for reproduction by photo-offset.".
