...professional Africa hand, but a good observing traveler, is Esther Warner. Her SEVEN DAYS To LOMALAND (269 pp.; Houghton Mifflin; $3.50) is the story of a seven-day hike she made across Liberia to witness the native trial-by-ordeal of a houseboy accused of thievery. Her account is charming and clear-eyed...
...they would need only a simple majority of 31 votes to establish the unimportance of the issue, the same number to put the deal over.

...impress him, but he always failed. Sam disappointed his father by refusing to become a clergyman; the canon infuriated Sam by pestering him mercilessly about his future intentions. As Sam had no idea what these should be, his numerous suggestions only made the canon more cantankerous. Cotton-farming in Liberia, bookselling, homeopathic medicine, farming, the army, schoolmastering and painting-all passed in review, until the canon blew up.
