Abstract:

Hausa is an African language originating in Niger and northern Nigeria and 
spoken widely in West and Central Africa as a lingua franca. Charles Henry 
Robinson (1861-1925) was the first student of the short-lived Hausa 
Association, formed in 1891 to promote the study of the Hausa Language and 
people. The Association sponsored Robinson to stay in northern Nigeria from 
1894 to 1895 to gain more experience in the language. On his return Robinson 
published an anthology of Hausa texts in 1896 and a Hausa grammar in 1897 as 
well as this two-volume dictionary in 1899. His efforts contributed greatly to 
Western knowledge of the language despite criticisms of his relatively short 
experience of Hausa-speaking communities. Volume 1 is a Hausa-English 
dictionary. The version reissued here is the 1925 fourth edition, for which the 
Hausa-English dictionary was re-written and expanded.
