Note
Johnston collected and systematized more or less all contemporary sources on the Bantu languages into a massive two-volume catalogue of Bantu features, incl. comparative word lists (for individual languages as well as thematic ones) and several thematic chapters on phonology, morphology, etc. The material he used came from published sources as well as his own field data and unpublished notes compiled (sometimes specifically for him) by G.L. Bates, Beba Bell, W.J.B. Chapman, C. Christy, J.F. Cunningham, Rev. R.D. Darby, J.H. Driberg, W. Fisher, W. Forfeitt, Rev. J.J. Fuller, Rev. R. Glennie, Rev. G. Grenfell, Rev. J. Griffiths, R.N. Hall, A.C. Hollis, Rev. A. Jones, Father Keeling, L. Lanne, R. Laws, A.G. Marwick, Consul G.B. Michell, C.F. Molyneaux, G.A.S. Northcote, S. Ormsby, Abbé A. Raponda Walker, E.W. Smith, Rev. W.H. Stapleton, Rev. A.R.I. Steggall, Rev. A.R. Stonelake, E. Torday, J.H. Weeks, A. Werner, Rev. H. Withey, F.V. Worthington, Rev. H.W. Woodward, and others. Johnston’s work was reprinted 1977 by the AMS Press in New York (ISBN-10 0-404-12092-X set).
