A near fine, bright copy with clean pages and only a neat former owner's name & (Rhodesian) addres on the front paste down.

From the preface: 'The First Edition (1914) of "The Guide to Rhodesia," published by the Beira and Mashonaland and Rhodesia Railways, is now exhausted, and in response to a very considerable demand the "Guide" is re-issued, in a second edition of 10,000 copies.

It has been carefully revised and brought up-to-date with the object of prividing a comprehensive yet concise survey of the Colony of Southern Rhodesia, its history, topography, climate, health conditions and natural resources, with an outline of the possibilities for the investor, the farmer, and the tourist and sportsman.'
