Excerpt from Travels Amongst the Todas; Or the Study of a Primitive Tribe in South India: History, Character, Customs, Religion, Infanticide, Polyandry, Language With Outlines of the Tuda Grammar It is the more proper and just that I should in this place render Mr. Metz the warmest acknowledgment of the very disinterested and important share he had in the undertaking, that there is so little in what I have written in these pages to recall his name. It was not only that his knowledge of Toda dialect was invaluable for minute and truthful investigation, but the personal respect in which he was held by the people, and the confidence they placed in his fidelity to them, obtained for us a more friendly welcome and complete exposure of their minds than would have been accorded had we been mere strangers. I must state, however, that my friend is not, even in the slightest degree, responsible for any opinions I have expressed. A small Vocabulary, compiled and carefully revised by Mr. Metz, will be found as the groundwork of the last Chapter. It may be said, more entirely to consist of actual Toda words than any other existing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
