ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

IWISH in the first place to express my deep indebtedness to the Carnegie Corporation and the Research Grant Board of the Union of South Africa for enabling me to carry out this research and publish this work, and to the Chairman of the Board, Professor R. B. Young, for his continued interest, encouragement, and advice.

My thanks are due to the many friends who have helped me in the collection of the material and in the checking of facts for this book. In particular, I owe a deep debt of gratitude to my colleague, Professor L. F. Maingard, who has been ever ready to place his wide knowledge of Africana at my disposal and to discuss and advise at all times. I am also indebted to Mr. W. P. Paff for the boundless enthusiasm and unremitting care which he has exercised in preparing all the plates and in taking many of the actual photographs which appear in this book; and to Miss Dora Kotzé for drawing the map. I also wish to express my thanks to Miss Wilman, Curator of the McGregor Museum, Kimberley, and to Mr. A. M. Duggan-Cronin, for allowing me to include four photographs taken by Mr. Duggan-Cronin; to Miss D. F. Bleek, Mr. F. Brownlee, Dr. I. Schapera, Dr. C. M. Doke, Dr. E. L. Gill, Director of the South African Museum, Capetown, and to the South African Railways and Harbours, for their permission to reproduce photographs taken by them or in their possession. I must further record my gratitude to the Ministers of Justice and of Native Affairs, for their permission to seek the assistance of magistrates and native commissioners throughout the Union of South Africa; assistance which has been willingly accorded to me, both in correspondence and in the field. Many of these officials, as well as other interested helpers, appear in the following list of people who have assisted me to gather information among the various races indicated.
