Quotes
Benin: The City of Blood (1897)
London: Edward Arnold
Every person who was able...indulged in a human sacrifice, and those who could not, sacrificed some animal and left the remains in front of his house. After a day or so the whole town seemed one huge pest-house.
Ch. 7, p. 88
Crucifixions, human sacrifices, and every horror the eye could get accustomed to, to a large extent, but the smells no white man's internal economy could stand...Blood was everywhere; smeared over bronzes, ivory, and even the walls.
Ch. 7, pp. 88–89. See also: A. M. Boisragon
