THE
AUTHOR.
PREFACE
I
desire
here
to
express
my
gratitude
to
The
New
Review,
The
North
American
Review,
The
Cosmopolitan,
The
Forum,
and
many
of
the
leading
journals
of
America,
for
the
use
of
their
valuable
and
popular
pages
through
which
my
work
has
been
given
to
the
public.
To
the
press,
English
and
American,
I
gladly
pay
my
tribute
of
thanks
for
the
liberal
discussion,
candid
criticism,
and
kind
consideration
which
they
have
bestowed
upon
my
efforts
to
solve
the
great
problem
of
speech.
In
contributing
to
Science
this
mite,
I
do
not
mean
to
intimate
that
my
task
has
been
completed,
for
I
am
aware
that
I
have
only
begun
to
explore
the
field
through
which
we
may
hope
to
pass
beyond
the
confines
of
our
own
realm
and
invade
the
lower
spheres
of
life.
This
volume
is
intended
as
a
record
of
my
work,
and
a
voluntary
report
of
my
progress,
to
let
the
world
know
with
what
results
my
labours
have
been
rewarded,
and
with
the
hope
that
it
may
be
the
means
of
inducing
others
to
pursue
like
investigations.
In
prosecuting
my
studies
I
have
had
no
precedents
to
guide
me,
no
literature
to
consult,
and
no
landmarks
by
which
to
steer
my
course.
I
have,
therefore,
been
compelled
to
find
my
own
means,
suggest
my
own
experiments,
and
solve
my
own
problems.
Not
a
line
on
this
subject
is
to
be
found
in
all
the
literature
of
the
world,
and
yet
the
results
which
I
have
obtained
have
far
surpassed
my
highest
hopes.
Considering
the
difficulties
under
which
I
have
been
compelled
to
work,
I
have
been
rewarded
with
results
for
which
I
dared
not
hope,
and
this
inspires
me
to
believe
that
my
success
will
meet
my
highest
wishes
when
I
am
placed
in
touch
with
such
subjects
as
I
expect
to
find
in
the
forests
of
Tropical
Africa.
