1998

He wrote of the Mende language, "I was brought up on the classics and had been taught that classical Greek was the most perfect instrument of speech ever devised. I accepted this, of course, unthinkingly and believed it implicitly until I met the Mende language. But then I began to think differently. I marvelled at its incredible beauty, its wonderful cadences, its skillful nuances and the deeper I went the more I learned to wonder" (Tuchscherer 1998:220).

Crosby also investigated and wrote on the system of polygamy among rural Mendeans.

Crosby retired in 1971 and moved to Craneigh in Surrey; he died on 23rd March 1998.
