Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography, volume 1, page 744, ‘The account of the Kaffir War is in the form of a long poem consisting of 202 pages, and of the minor pieces, Fragment I. is entitled “Bachelor's Life on a Sheep Farm”; Fragment II. “On Choosing a Wife. A Sequel to Bachelor's Life”; Fragment III. “A Batchelor's Soliloquy, or A Dream of Married Life.” There are a number of notes to “A Feature in South African Frontier Life,” which give considerable information regarding the Eastern Province and Kaffraria.
Although the title-page states that this is Vol. I., it is very doubtful whether any subsequent volume was published.’
A South African Bibliography, volume 2, page 615 does not record a Volume II.
