In Dahomey they fight as soldiers, and perform all the offices of men.

Dahomey is principally celebrated for its army of women, and its human sacrifices.

Sometimes as many as a thousand captives are slain on these occasions.

In almost all the pagan nations of Africa human sacrifices are perpetrated, just as they were by the Druids and Egyptians of old.
