Excerpt from The Laws and Customs of the Yoruba People It was in 1906 that I began to collect material for an account of our native laws and customs. Then my attempt was concentrated on the laws and customs of my own tribe, the Egbas; later on I enlarged the scope of my investigations, and this work is the outcome.
