SynopsisExcerpt from Kimbundu Grammar: Grammatica Elementar do Kimbundu Ou Lingua de AngolaIn 1884 the late Dr. Summers, whose premature death at Luluaburg, on the Upper Kassai, we all deplore, accompanied by Mr. Heli Chate lain, a native of Switzerland, called upon me in London, and told me, that they were proceeding to Loanda, in the Portuguese Colony in West Africa, South of the Equator, as part of Bishop William Taylor's Self-supporting Mission. Mr. Chatelain had all the gifts of an accomplished linguist, being acquainted with French and German, his two native languages, English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Latin and Hebrew. On his voyage out to Loanda he studied the Portuguese lan guage, thus in a peculiar manner fitting himself to be the linguist of his Mission, as his labours would lie among tribes, who spoke Dialects of a language, totally unrepresented in literature and unknown in Europe, though some light had been thrown upon it by Portuguese Scholars. Mr. Chatelain acquired this language and collected materials for a Grammatical work and Bible translations. St. John's Gospel has been printed at the expense of the British and Foreign Bible Society the former is put forth by himself, at his own charges, assisted by the donations of friends. It is a Grammar of the Mbundu language, inter preted in Portuguese. It is for the use of the natives and of Missionaries actually in the Mission field, where that last named language is the official language otherwise we could have wished that the Grammar had been in one of the great languages of Europe. Probably translation will accompany new Editions. The meaning of words has been given in English, and few linguists will be at loss in understanding the Portu guese.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
