Title:
"Huppanbauer's Report for the Second Quarter of 1885"
Description
The report is partly printed in Heidenbote 1885, pp92ff. Additional material: The introduction makes it clear that the report is a commentary on the petition from the Basel Mission concerning duties on spirits to the German Reichskanzler Bismarck. As an illustration of the effects of drunkenness, in addition to the point that people believe themselves possessed by a fetish, is a report that they met a drunken dancer at Begoro who believed that his left foot belonged to the devil, his right food to God. He gives a Twi equivalent of the German pastor merchants: Asofoguadifo.
