A glossary of South African colloquial words and phrases and of place and other names

579 pages, green cloth titled gilt on the spine, light foxing throughout.

East London Daily Dispatch July 24th, 1913: “ What is the origin of the name 'Aliwal Shoal'? What is a 'request farm' or an 'inkruip plaats'? Why is the name 'Seventy-Four' given to a certain fish? What is the derivation of 'Smouse?' And what is wrong with the spelling 'Sluit'? The answers to these and similar questions will be found in Mr. Pettman's book, which is strongly recommended to all who take an interest in things South Africa.”
