Note 4 — Chapter V · Earning a Living—Business and the Professions
Reading edition
Mary Kingsley has some interesting generalizations on this point. She speaks of the African mind approaching all things from a spiritual point of view while the English mind approaches them from a material point of view, and of "the high perception of justice you will find in the African, combined with the inability to think out a pulley or a lever except under white tuition."—West African Studies, p. 330.
