    The Gold Coast Review
    (Government of the Gold Coast, 1927) Government of the Gold Coast
    This third number of the Gold Coast Review marks a distinct advance in the range from which the material is derived. Out of ten contributors four are Africans and of those four two are outside the Government Service. Attention is specially invited to the first instalment of a History of the Adangme People, a contribution of rare ethnological interest, the writer of which was trained from boyhood as a fetish priest and afterwards educated by the Basel Missionaries. This history was written in the Adangme language and has been translated by one of the author's sons. Publication will be completed in three instalments and an edition will then be available in book form. Authors of articles and notes appearing in the Gold Coast Review are solely responsible for their statements and expressions of opinion.
