The author in his prefatory note emphasises that his book is "not intended in any way to deal exhaustively with what is known as 'The South African Problem'." It is, instead, "nothing more than a series of cameos of the past, extending back over a period of fifty years, and covering the life and growth of a British Colony from its birth to the developments of to-day".
The midnight-blue ribbed cloth boards have been strengthened with a matching Skivertex spine - original spine cover laid down - and patterned ivory endpapers. The corners and lower edges are lightly rubbed. There are two owner signatures on the half-title and a further signature of one of them on the dedication page. The xxxiv + 418 pp of unillustrated text, appendis and index are otherwise unmarked, complete and, save for light foxing limited to the first and last few leaves, undiscoloured.
This is now a presentable copy of a historical item of Nataliana, with 6 chapters on the Settlers and others on the Voortrekkers, the Natives and he War.
