“The artist has given us many accurate drawings of the genuine native in his appropriate setting. Nor does he sacrifice accuracy of detail for mere pictorial effect; thus the student may feel confident in trusting his details of ornament, dress, house-structure and the like, indeed in some instances new facts are incidentally given to the student in the plates. The letterpress is a chatty compilation of no value to the serious student, as it is full of mistakes of various kinds and there is no evidence that Mr. Elkington has visited the places of which he writes.”
