This work is an exact reproduction of the original book published in 1852. Samuel Adjai Crowther (1809-1891). Bishop on the Niger and first African Anglican Bishop. Born in Osogun, Yorubaland (today's Oyo State), Nigeria, Samuel Adjai Crowther was an energetic missionary, a linguist and the first African Anglican bishop. A member of the Creole ethnic group, Samuel Crowther was twelve years old when he was captured, along with his mother, younger brother, other family members, and his entire village, by Muslim Fulani slave raiders in 1821 and sold to Portuguese slave traders. Before leaving port, his ship was boarded by a British Navy ship under the command of Captain Henry Leeke, and Crowther was taken to Freetown, Sierra Leone and released. While there, Crowther was cared for by the Church Missionary Society (CMS), who taught him English. He converted to Christianity, was baptized by Rev. John Raban, and took the name Samuel Crowther in 1825. While in Freetown, Crowther became interested in languages and in1826 was taken to England to attend Islington Parish School. He returned to Freetown in 1827 and attended the newly-opened Fourah Bay College, the CMS missionary school.After completing his studies he began teaching at the school. At this time he married Susan (previously Asano), a former Muslim,a schoolmistress, who had been on the same slave ship as he was. Crowther began translating the Bible into the Yoruba language and compiling a Yoruba dictionary. In 1843, a grammar book which he started working on during the Niger expedition was published; and a Yoruba version of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer followed later. He also began codifying other languages. After participating in the British Niger Expeditions of 1854 and 1857 (suffering shipwreck in 1857), Crowther produced a primer for the Igbo language in 1857, another for the Nupe language in 1860, and a full grammar and vocabulary of Nupe in 1864.This book is an authentic reproduction of the original printed text.

Excerpt from Vocabulary of the Yoruba Language The Yoruba Country, lying between the 2 and 6 W.long, and 6 and 10 N.lat., and due north of the Bight of Benin, has been, for more than a quarter of a century, the chief seat of the African slave-trade. Many Negroes, and, amongst them, Mr. Crowther, now a Clergyman of the Church of England, the compiler of the following work, were re-captured from Brazilian slavers by the cruisers of the British squadron, and landed at Sierra Leone, where they received a Christian education in the schools of the Church Missionary Society. No less than 3000 of these involuntary emigrants have since returned to the land of their birth; and it has also pleased God to bless the labours of the Society's Missionaries in the chief town, Abbeokuta, to the establishment of a flourishing Mission amongst the Aborigines, commenced August 3, 1846, and now numbering several hundred converts. A Christian literature became at once a desideratum for this rising Christian community. This want Mr. Crowther is at present supplying. A Yoruba Primer, the Gospel according to St. Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, the Epistles of St. James and St. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
