  notes      = {Barbot wrote down a general account of what he had learned during his West African travels. It was completed 1688, but never published. (An English translation appeared 1732.) It includes brief specimens of several languages, e.g. 'Kishi-Koñgw and a dialect of north-west Cameroons, probably Barundw' (Johnston 1919:2), plus Wolof, Serer, Manding, 'Fida and Ardra' (i.e. Ewe), and others. 'Barbot plagiarized heavily from Dapper [1668] and Bosman [1704]' (Hair 1967:257). There are several subsequent editions and reprints of Barbot's original account.},
