Note 1 — Chapter V
C. T. (Charles Thomas) Campion translation
"No other race on a similar level of culture has developed as strict methods of legal procedure as has the negro. Many of his legal forms remind us strongly of those of mediæval Europe." (Prof. Boas in "The Ethnical Record," March, 1904, p. 107.)
"Everywhere in Africa where the life of the people has not been disturbed by outside influences, the people are governed by law. There is law relating to property, to morality, to the protection of life, in fact, in many portions of Africa law is more strictly regarded than in many civilised countries." (Booker Washington: "The Story of the Negro," Vol. I., p. 70.)
