Description/Scope and Content
-
This collection includes the papers of Olive Temple and Charles Lindsay Temple. The 'Lagos Past' paper from 1901 included amongst their typescript notes for various handbooks on Northern Nigeria includes on page 20-21 a poem in an original African language (Igbo or Yoruba) uttered by a bard on the event of the Ibadan army marching against the Ijayes in 1860. There are also short proverbs and extracts of poetry on pages 4 and 15. Within the same collection, Item 2 also contains some Hausa proverbs, although these may be too brief to be of interest.
