Excerpt from The Tribes of Northern and Central KordofanMy aim has been to describe, however imperfect may be the result, the antecedents of the tribes at present inhabiting the province in so far as any information upon the subject can be gleaned from extraneous sources or from current native tradition.At the same time, while as a general rule planning to omit minute descriptions of people and places, and avoiding discus sion of current questions, whether political or commercial, I have found it advisable to make occasional exceptions where under standing of the conditions of the past and the links connecting it with the present would have been impaired by such unnecessary limitation in the scope of the work. In so far as the work purports to deal with some aspects of ethnology, I must plead in excuse for its manifold shortcomings that I am a mere tyro with no expert knowledge of the science whatever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
