First Edition: 280 pages, map of District of Albany and adjacent country overrun by the Kaffirs, 1834-1835 as frontispiece, errata leaf, half dark green leather with red leather title labels on the spine, green cloth sides, Hosken bookplate on the front paste-down endpaper, some pages browned but overall a very good copy.
Printed and Published by Meurant and Godlonton, High-Street, and sold by A.S. Robertson, Cape Town, 1836.
The book reflects the strong bias of the British settlers of the time. Godlonton was the editor of the Graham’s Town Journal. He used his newspaper articles, official dispatches, and military reports to create the narrative. He fiercely defended the actions of the white frontier farmers and the British military.
