      Title: People of Africa

      Author: Edith A. How

      Release Date: October, 2004 [EBook #6693] [Yes, we are more than one year ahead of schedule] [This file was first posted on January 14, 2003]

      This electronic edition of Edith A. How's People of Africa was produced by John Walker in January 2003. It follows the 1921 edition (the only one of which I am aware) published in London by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and in New York by the Macmillan Company. I have corrected two typographical errors in the original text: sandstorm was misspelled as standstorm on page 21 (section 1 of chapter III), and bought appeared where brought was intended on page 33 (paragraph 3 of section 2 of chapter IV).

                              Etext Production Notes

      This public domain Etext edition of Edith A. How's People of Africa was prepared by:

              John Walker

              http://www.fourmilab.ch/

      If you discover any errors in this Etext, please report them to me by E-mail. If you're reporting a discrepancy between the Etext and a modern edition, please include a complete citation of your source. Upon close examination, most editions contain minor errors and discrepancies which I've tried to correct in this Etext. These Etexts are part of the intellectual heritage we share as humans—please help to make them perfectly embody the authors' legacies to the thousands of generations and billions of readers whose lives they will enrich.

      Beautifully Typeset Etexts —————————————

      Free Plain Vanilla Etexts don't have to be austere and typographically uninviting. Most literature (as opposed to scientific publications, for example), is typographically simple and can be rendered beautifully into type without encoding it into proprietary word processor file formats or impenetrable markup languages.

      This Etext is encoded in a form which permits it to be both read directly (Plain Vanilla) and typeset in a form virtually indistinguishable from printed editions of the work.

      To create typographically friendly Etexts, I adhere to the following rules:

      1. Characters follow the 8-bit ISO 8859/1 Latin-1 character set. ASCII is a proper subset of this character set, so any Plain ASCII file meets ths criterion by definition. The extension to ISO 8859/1 is required so that Etexts which include the accented characters used by Western European languages may continue to be readable by both humans and computers.

      2. No white space characters other than blanks and line separators are used (in particular, tabs are expanded to spaces).

          3. The text bracket sequence:

        <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

              appears both before and after the actual body of the Etext.

              This allows including an arbitrary prologue and epilogue to

              the body of the document.

      4. Normal body text begins in column 1 and is set ragged right with a line length of 70 characters. The choice of 70 characters is arbitrary and was made to avoid overly long and therefore less readable lines in the Plain Vanilla text.

      5. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.

      6. Centring, right, and left justification is indicated by actually so-justifying the text within the 70 character line. Left justified lines should start in column 2 to avoid confusion with paragraph body text.

      7. Block quotations are indented to start in column 5 and set ragged right with a line length of 60 characters.

      8. Preformatted tables begin with a line which starts in column 3 and contains at least one sequence of three or more spaces between nonblanks. The table is formatted verbatim until the next blank line.

      9. Text set in italics is bracketed by underscore characters, _. These must match.

      10. Footnotes are included in-line, bracketed by []. The footnote appears at the point in the copy where the footnote mark appears in the source text. Footnotes may not be nested and may consist of only a single paragraph.

         11. The title is defined as the sequence of lines which appear

              between the first text bracket <><><>… and a centred line

              consisting exclusively of
