Originally published in 1904, this book presents vocabularies for the Kamba and Kikuyu languages, with a facing-page Swahili vocabulary, aimed at English speakers. The object in publishing a Swahili vocabulary parallel with the Kamba and Kikuyu was to emphasise the intimate relationship between the three languages. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in East African languages and the historical development of linguistics.
