Date | 1868 |
Description | Prophet's vision |
Details |
Native African prophet is not told of what the subject they wish to be enlightened, he is supposed to be acquainted with their thoughts and they merely intimate that they wish to have the benefit of his knowledge. Prophet's simulated vision is not a series of guesses, in which he may possibly hit upon the truth, but asystematic enumeration of particulars.
