The author traveled through Griqualand, Namaqualand, Damaraland, and Ovampoland, commenting on the state of the countryside and native populations, particularly during his journeys in the mid-1860s. There are numerous sporting encounters with lion, leopard, giraffe and buffalo as well as the usual hunts for plains antelope for the pot. Anderson almost died of thirst while crossing the Kalahari Desert. Original olive cloth with gilt spine titles slightly dulled but still quite legible. Original black endpapers, front inner hinge reinforced, rear inner hinge starting. All plates present, age tanning to edges. Folding map in nice condition. 40 pages of book ads at rear. This is the New Edition in One Volume, the first edition published in 2 volumes a year earlier.
