Folio folded into four pages, Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of His Excellency the Governor.

Addressed to The Hon. Ch. Brownlee Esq., Secretary for Native Affairs. Mowbray, February, 1875

'Sir, I have the honour to lay before you the information His Excellency the Governor and the Colonial Legislature a report concerning the progress of the Bushman Researches since 1873. With it is a short outline of the Bushman literature as yet collected, which will give some idea of its nature. Its richness has been a surprise even to me, although I have held the belief for many years that every nation, even the lowest, possesses on original literature, which is handed down from generation to generation.'
