68 NOTES ON WEST AFRICAN CATEGORIES 



I now feel that I have written enough to point out 

 the importance of the study of these categories at the 

 back of the Black man's mind, and many as my errors 

 and discordances may be, I cannot help feeling that I 

 have at least been able to supply the future African 

 philosopher with enough matter to guide his thoughts 

 in the right direction towards the restoration of a 

 most beautiful natural philosophy, which has led the 

 West African step by step to acknowledge one God 

 as the Ruler and Creator of the Universe, and one 

 moral law, which is common to all mankind, as his 

 guide to good conduct.
