Item Affairs of the Gold Coast and Threatened Ashanti Invasion.(George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1881-08) Great Britain Colonial OfficeItem African Business Enterprise: A Study of a Group of Traders in Kumasi Part 1(1958-07) Garlick, P.C.This draft is intended for circulation among a small group of business men, university people and others for their further criticisms of fact, generalizations and emphasis.Item African Folktales and Sculpture (Series XXXII)(Bollingen Foundation. Inc., New York, N.Y., 1952) Radin, P.The two parts of this book, folktales and sculpture, coincide and interrelate only in part. The great sculpture area of native Africa encompasses practically all of the West Africa of the true Negro and most of the Bantu-speaking region centering in the Congo. For reasons not entirely understood, almost no plastic art of much interest has come from the Nilotic, the eastern and southern Bantu, and the Bushman-Hottentot areas. But for the folktale this does not hold. Rich stores of the folktale are encountered everywhere. This volume contains only a selection.Item African Traders in Kumasi(Economic Research Division University College of Ghana 1959, 1959-04) Garlick, P.C.This study is a part of work in progress, but since much of the material §Pes out of date fairly rapidly, it has been thought worthwhile to ~publish in its present form. (A few copies of the first part (since slightly amended) were distributed privately last year). Whatever faults remain, this study owes a very great deal to many people, from the business men who supplied the original information, to University colleagues and busines men, both African and European, who criticized earlier drafts of the material. Especially great is the debt to Dr. and Mrs. Barbu Niculescu and Professor John W. Williams. A continuation of this study has been made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Foundation. The dedication is to African business men in Kumasi, with the hope for their development and prosperityItem Annual Conference on Mass Education and Community Development(Government Printer, Accra, 1955) Lewis, L.J.The first of these courses was directed to a re-consideration of the aims of mass education and community development in the light of working experience with special reference to establishing training needs and methods of meeting them. In planning the second course, it was originally intended to pay special attention to the use of visual aids in mass education and community development, but a request addressed to the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development for organising a campaign directed to cocoa farmers, to win the co-operation of the farmers in applying scientific methods in the war against the cocoa diseases, and to persuade them to adopt better ways of husbandry, resulted in the course being altered t o a study of the whole variety of techniques relevant to the cocoa campaign. In the third course, with which this report is concerned, an attempt was made at general re- assessment. Review of work done was followed by an analysis of what had happened, as opposed to what had been expected when the particular projects were in the planning stage, Aims and methods were reconsidered in the light of experience and particular attention was paid in the discussions to consideration of outcomes other than those originally sought.Item Ashantee War(1864-06-14) The House of CommonsCopies or Extracts of any Despatches from the Governor of the Gold Coast explaining the cause of the War with the King of Ashantee; of any Despatches from the Secretary of State to the Governor of the Gold Coast, directing him to prosecute the War; Returns of the Expense already incurred in this War; and, of the Number of Officers and European Troops landed at Cape Coast Castle, and Date of Landing.Item Cola Survey of the Eastern Ashanti Areas and a General Review of the Gold Coast Cola Industry(Government Printing Office, 1931) Governor of Gold CoastThe Cola areas of Western Ashanti were surveyed during 1928-29. The report has since been published; see Paper No. XXVII in Year Book 1929 (Bull. No. 22). 2. During the months of January-June, 1930, a survey of the Cola areas in the Eastern Province of Ashanti was carried out by Mr. J. C. Muir and Mr. J. D. Broatch, Assistant Superintendents. The former -officer was respom;ible for the survey of Western Ashanti and it was fortunate that his services should have been available to complete this important work.Item Conference on the study and teaching of history 31st August – 3rd September 1959(University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, 1959) University College of Rhodesia and NyasalandSince the Conference was intended to promote informal discussion about the history syllabus for the School and higher School Certificate exanimations, it was decided" not to issue any formal report, but in response to many requests the lectures have been cyclostyled. Certain suggestions which commanded a fair measure of agreement were 9 however, submitted to the Cambridge University Local examinations Syndicate and to the various education authorities in the Federation. These suggestions are set out at the end of my lecture on 'The Case for African History'. From the replies I have received it would appear that a good deal of further thought and discussion is called for before the education authorities would be prepared to recommend alterations to the existing syllabus. Undoubtedly one chief drawback to giving a more prominent place to the history of Africa is the lack of adequate textbooks. It is hoped that this deficiency will be remedied in the next few years. Certainly no person seriously concerned with education in this country can remain complacent in face of a situation in which so little teaching is given in the higher forms regarding the history of. The continent in which we live.Item Congo - Gabon – Cameroun - Dahomey – Togo(J. Peyronnet, Paris., 1930) Herviault, AItem Constitutional Proposals for Gold Coast Independence(Government Printer, Gold Coast, 1956) Government of Gold CoastThe present White Paper must be viewed against the background of the negotiations that preceded the granting of the existing Gold Coast Constitution, for in the Government's proposals for Constitutional Reform, 1953, which formed the basis of the negotiations, the Gold Coast Government made it clear that its proposals were only in respect of the limited transitional period which was necessary in order that the requisite constitutional and administrative arrangements for Independence· could be made. In the opinion of the Government, the Gold Coast is now at the end of this limited transitional period.Item Convention between Her Majesty and the King of Denmark, for the Cession of the Danish Possessions on the Coast of Africa to Great Britain(Printed by Harrison and Son, London., 1850) Her MajestyHis Majesty the King of Denmark having offered to cede to Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, all the forts and possessions belonging to the Crown of Denmark, situated on that part of the coast of Africa which is called the Gold Coast or the Coast of Guinea; and Her Britannic Majesty having resolved to accept that offer; their said Majesties have named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Convention for carrying such cession into effectItem Correspondence Relating to a Scheme for Extending the System of Village Dispensaries and Improving the Training of the African Nursing and Dispensing Staff(1930) Governor to the Secretary of State, Gold CoastI have the honour to refer to that part of the Report of the Committee, appointed by the Secretary of State in 1927, which dealt with a scheme for the creation and training of an auxiliary service of Medical Assistants, and to paragraph 16 of Sir Ransford Slater's despatch of the I7th November, 1928, in which he informed Mr. Amery that he approved that scheme in principle and would submit his views after questions of details and costs had been settledItem Correspondence relating to the Affairs of the Gold Coast.(Harrison and Sons, 1875-02-05) Great Britain Colonial OfficeItem Correspondence relating to the Proposal to Close down the Gold Coast Commercial Intelligence Bureau(Government Printing Office, 1931) Government of the Gold CoastI have the honour to refer to the Governor's despatches No. 491 dated the 3rd July, 1929 and No. 26 dated the 7th January, 1930 on the subject of the Gold Coast Commercial Intelligence Bureau in which various arguments for and against the continuation of the Bureau were discussed at some length. Although measures have been taken to reduce the expenditure of the Bureau, the question of its continuance must now be further considered owing' to the need for drastic reduction of the Colony' s expenditure.Item Correspondence Relating To the Queen's Jurisdiction on the Gold Coast and the Abolition of Slavery within the Protectorate(Harrison and Sons, 1875-02-06) Command of Her MajestyWhereas the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty has resolver to abolish slave dealing in Her Protectorate of the Gold Coast and the importation thereinto of slaves and persons intended to be dealt with as slaves and also to provide for the Emancipation of persons holden as slaves within the said ProtectorateItem Correspondence respecting the Territory on the West Coast of Africa.(Harrison and Sons, 1883) Her Majesty’s GovernmentCorrespondence respecting the Territory on the West Coast of Africa lying between 5°, 12′ and 8° of South Latitude:1845 – 77.Item Despatch From the Secretary of State Relating to the Proposal to Establish A Medical College in the Gold Coast, Together With Regulations and Conditions for the Award of Government Scholarships to African Students for the Purpose of Studying Medicine in the United Kingdom.(Government Printing Office, 1930) Secretary of State Government of Gold CoastI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 7th of November, regarding the proposal that a Medical College should be established in the Gold Coast, and to thank you for the full expression of your views which you have given me. I have now been able to consider the question in all its aspects, and am in a position to come to a final decision.Item Despatch relating to the Oil Palm Industry with particular reference to a Subsidy Scheme for Palm Oil Mills(Government Printing Office, Gold Coast., 1930) Government of Gold CoastI have the honour to address Your Lordship on the subject of the Oil Palm industry in this Colony and to seek your approval of a scheme where under the United Africa Company propose, with the help of a Government subsidy, to make an experiment in developing that industry on modern lines.Item Despatches relating to Colonial Veterinary Services.(Government Printer, Accra, Gold Coast., 1929) Government of the Gold CoastWith reference to my Circular despatch of the 26th January, 1929, I have the honour to inform you that I have now considered the recommendations of the Committee which I appointed to enquire into the question of the organisation and efficiency of the Colonial Veterinary Services. The Committee preface their Report (Cmd. 3261) with an introduction in which they urge the importance of veterinary activities in the Colonial Empire and the need for strengthening the Colonial Veterinary Services and improving the standard of recruitment for them. They state their conviction that the Services should be made more attractive, particularly by the provision of higher salaries in .the senior grades and by an improvement in the status and prestige of Veterinary Departments, but they recognise that almost equally important is the provision of better training facilities in this country, and they refer especially to the condition of the Royal Veterinary College at Camden Town.Item Die S.Prache Der Guang in Togo Und Auf Der Goldkuste Und Funf Andere Togosprachen(Dietrich Reimer (Ernst Vohsen) A.-G., 1922) Westermann, D.Wahrend meines letzten Aufenthaltes in Togo im Jahre 1907’ habe ich mehrero Sprachen aus dem Schutzgebiet und aus N achbarlandern aufgenommen. Eine von ilmen, das Lefana, habe ich im J ahrgang XIII Abtoilung III del' Mitteilungen des Seminars fur Orientalische Sprachen (Berlin 1910) veroffentlicht: Die Lefanasprache in Togo, die zweite in d cr Zeitschrift fur Eingeborenensprachen Band XI Heft 3, (Berlin 1921) unter dem Titel: Ein Beitrag zur Kenntnis des Zarma-Songai am Nig er ; einigo weitere hoffe ich in dem 1922 erscheinendcn Band e del' Mitteilungen des Seminars fur Orientalische Sprachen hcrausgeben zu kormcn. Don Haupttcil m einer Aufnahmen von Togosprachen lege ich zusammen mit dem Guan g in di esem Buche vor. Die Umstand e machten es nicht moglich, ausreichendes Material zu einer erschopfendon Darstellung zu gewinnen. Da abel' die meisten dieser Sprachen bisher nul' unzureichend bekannt gewesen sind, ist die vorliegende Sammlung doch geeignet, die linguistische Kenntnis diesos an Sprachon besonders roichen Gebietes zu erweitern uncl die Sprachen nach ihrer Zugehorigkeit zu grotleren Gruppen zu bostimmen. Soweit schon Veroffentlichungen vorlagen, habe ich diese in den V okabularicn unter Quellenangabe mit verwertet, um dadurch fur cine spatere Laut- und W ortvcrgleichung moglichst breite und sichel'e Unterlagen zu schaffen. Del' Bearbeitung des Guang liegen autler meinen eigenen auch fremdo handschriftliche Aufnahmen zugrundo, die an ihrom Ort genannt werden. Samtliche sechs hier behandelten Sprachen zahlen zu den sudanischen Klassenspl'achen, d. h. es sind Sudanspl'achen mit oiner durch AHixe gebildeten Klasseneinteilung und Mehrzahlbildung del' Hauptwol'tel'. Nach del' SteHung der Affixe gehoron sie drei Gruppen an: 1. Guang und AhlQ sind Prafixsprachen. Das AhlQ ist Glied einor Sprachengruppe im sUdlichen Togo, die ich nach S t ru c k s V orschlag als Sprachen del' Restvolker in Togo odeI' kurz als R 0 s ts sprachen bezeichne. Ihnen gehoren autler dem AhlQ und dem erwahnten Lefana noch an: Avatime, Nyangbo-Tafi, Logba, Likpo, Santrokofi, Akpafu, Bowli, Adele, Boro (in Tapa undW orawora), etwas ferner stehen KpOS80 und Kebu (odeI' Kogboriko).
