Second edition in one volume wit a new preface. 505 pages Some wear to spine cover ends.

With an appendix upon the present situation in South Africa and upon the affairs of Zululand, the Transvaal, and Bechuanaland, with special reference to the Boer Mission to England.

"The author, a keen observer of colonial habits and manners, asserts that the colonists are extreemly impatient of the slightest criticism, and he states that whenever a book or series of articles on South Africa appears "there is pretty sure to be an outcry from the colonial organs and public, that what has been written is over coloured, garbled, and distorted." (mendelssohn page 905)
