Notice.
As the chapters dealing with a description of the Bushmen, Hottentots, and Bantu that appeared in previous editions of this history have been greatly enlarged, and are now published as a separate work entitled The Yellow and Dark-skinned People of Africa south of the Zambesi, I have taken them out of this volume and have made use of the space they occupied to add information upon subjects closely connected with the occupation of part of South Africa by the Portuguese. I have also indexed this volume separately from the others of the series, in order to avoid mixing Portuguese names with those of different nationalities. Otherwise the alterations and additions made in the text upon close revision have been very few indeed, in many chapters none at all.
Wynberg, South Africa, April 1916.
