"Hans Niclay Riis from Akropong"

Comments on the manuscript for the new Twi reader. It is still a provisional book till a thorough study of the language has been made. Contents: Sounds, words, little sentences, biblical stories, ten commandments, creed, Lord's prayer, a few short prayers and hymn verses. There should be printed not less than 150 copies. Illustrations to the biblical stories would be of great value. Principles of spelling and word division. Riis pleases to speed up the printing, they need the book badly and do not want the school to become all English. His uncle (Andreas Riis) has been able to send a man from Ashanti proper for their language study with the help of a trader in English Accra. He is fairly well suited for the job.
