Who are the Ila speaking peoples? Generally speaking, they are the people usually known as the Mashukulumbwe, or as Livingstone spelled it, Bashukulompo. This work was not prepared for ordinary domestic consumption. The authors endeavored to describe the life as it is in actuality, and any one attempting this with frankness must be prepared to see his work confined to a comparatively narrow circle of readers. While not professing to be scientifically trained anthropologists, the authors wrote with such experts in mind, and if they have succeeded in giving them any valuable material for their studies, the authors shall be glad.
