FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 1: A popular French dance.—_Trans._]
[Footnote 2: The translator thinks it best to give the actual words
of this celebrated despatch, which caused so much excitement at
the time.]
[Footnote 3: A _griot_ is a superior negro, who acts as interpreter,
etc.—_Trans._]
[Footnote 4: Bamana Dankun had replied to Monson who had called him,
“I will come; when I have finished the sacrifices I am offering,
I will come.” Hence the anger of the _Fama_.]
[Footnote 5: I have failed to ascertain the meaning of the word
_Jaribata_. The griots sometimes use words in their songs, which the
present natives of Bambara do not themselves understand, and which
may perhaps be survivals of a now extinct language.]
[Footnote 6: The singular of _Ihaggaren_ is _Ahaggar_, and of _Imrad_,
_Amrid_.]
[Footnote 7: It will be understood that the translations in the
English text of the free translations of the originals can only give
an approximate idea of the poems quoted.—_Trans._]
[Footnote 8: These are the slang names for members of the secret
police in France.—_Trans._]
